Hello, I've got a website that's pretty niche but there are people out there interested in my service. I have a problem though, the people that visit it just click for long enough to make me waste money but they don't stick around to see what the site is about. It's as if 98% of the visitors are just bots or something. I've had this issue on multiple accounts and don't know what to do about it. I've tried Smart campaigns, Search campaigns, YouTube campaigns and so on.

Your competitors are sending you fraudulent clicks and about this, there is NOTHING you can do, except slightly reducing these fraudulant clicks, through some campaign related changes / tweaks. For more insights, see here , here and here.
Another thing you possibly can do is analyse these fraudulent clicks, prepare a detailed report and submit it to Google Ads support and then pray that you get some credits for it.
And if these are not fraudulent clicks, then you need to seriously analyse your campaign setup, especially the keywords, geos targetted, etc. It could be that your targeting is so broad that it also attracts people (audience) that are not interested / not looking for what you are advertising.

This sounds like you might be onto something huge. I'll definitely try, thank you.
I didn't elaborate in the original post but I believe my product is somewhat niche without huge competition so I doubt this

it would work if it was cheap botted traffic but high quality ones will have a gmail account for each click!

I'm fortunate not have been the victim of the quality ones then. The traffic which you call 'cheap botted traffic' is already enough to disrupt my campaigns a lot.

You can track the IPs of these users with a 3rd party tool, then block the IPS in Google.
