It seems impossible to create bot installs on Google Playstore, how do people do it?

You see so many people selling Google Playstore installs for cheap prices under $0.01 per install, but it seems impossible

Doesn't each install require a unique Gmail account? How can they create that many unique Gmail accounts at scale? Even with a normal Android device, you will be asked for a phone verification on sign up. So when they are selling 100,000 installs for $1000, it would require 100,000 unique Gmail accounts.
 
It’s not “impossible,” but it’s against Google’s policies and they actively detect and remove fake installs.


People who try it usually use things like bot farms, click farms, emulators, or paid “incentivized installs,” but most of that gets flagged sooner or later and can get the app suspended or banned.


If you’re building something legit, you’re way better off focusing on real users (ads, ASO, social, etc.)—fake installs don’t help retention anyway.
The impossible part is creating that many gmail accounts at scale, which I dont understand how this can be done. A regular device requires SMS verification, so how can this be automated? It doesn't seem economically feasible. Once a Gmail account has been created to log into a Google Play account, the hard part of bot installs is done.
 
It's still possible I can confirm since I work in this line of business.
The cost per gmail account is around 0.10$ for the creation ( proxy + number )
But the same gmail accounts can be repurposed for other things or sold for around 0.70$ each
So yes it is possible to provide installs for $0.01 per install because it's extra income when gmail accounts stay in your inventory for a while
How long does a gmail used only for google playstore last if used by different device/ip address each time for the purpose of installs ?
