Headless browsers are used to create robots in order to automate the gaming of web-based value systems - thus diluting the value for legitimate participants. Examples:
* create fake profiles in order to boost someone's "followers" in a social network where you can monetize your "influencer" status
* click ads from a competitor in a way that would trigger fraud prevention from the ad network effectively preventing the competitor to advertise there
