or we're dealing with data scraping/bot activity?

This is likely if your community is publicly accessible.

We've discovered that our Verint instance can heavily be the focus of bots and bad-actor traffic, attempting to bring the site down, but also heavily view pages.

Part of this has been discovered that the URLs are scraped from social media advertising, and then hit heavily by international, or country specific, botnet traffic.

This inflates views considerably.

You should be able to look at your website's server logs if you're self-hosted, or if you have Google Analytics or Adobe Analytics type embedded in your platform to see correlations with countries, ip addresses and reported screen resolutions and devices (typically low/mobile identifying) to determine the source types.
