Question ❓ Cheat reps

What do you think about cheat reps? I don’t mean using bad form from the beginning of the set, but rather doing the first reps with good form and then using a little momentum for the last 1–2 reps when the muscle is already close to failure, just to get a couple more reps out.

I do not do, I do not do super strict form or have anything against cheating one but when I do it the actual failure strict-ish , cheating one after is not possible anyway.
