Can Sharing The Links Of Our Posts Be Considered A Black Hat SEO?

So, I remeber one post of the Brian Dean from Backlinko.com, where he was talking about how one of his friends post ranked on the first page of Google. His friend did a test and asked 500 people to click on the link of that post which lead Google to believe that article is really good and boosted his rank.

He also mentioned that this can be considered as a black hat SEO, because obviously it is not how the things are meant to be on Google.

So what is your thoughts on this? Can we or will we get penalized for massively sharing the links of our posts and letting people click on them?

Thank you.

Strahinja.
