> SEO should be as natural as possible

Natural looking to googles algos, not actually as natural as possible.

There are highly effective “unnatural” SEO strategies, for example you could just generate fake bounces on your competitors pages using proxies.

> Don't start by gaming the system. Start by doing it as natural as you can.

This is good advice. You can always game the system, but you probably shouldn’t start out by doing so.

Gaming the system can be incredibly lucrative, but also very difficult. Unless it’s the primary focus of your business, you probably shouldn’t even try.

That's not unnatural seo it's negative seo.

Why can’t negative SEO be unnatural?
