How do they spread them?

Carry them?

I don't think so but they might carry them back to their nests to farm
them

I think I heard on GQT some time ago that they "help" by moving the
aphids to new parts of the plant, so spreading them around more.

Why would they do that? Ants are interested in collecting honeydew from the
aphids, why would they move them around? They certainly take them back to
their nest to farm them there for the benefit of their young. Isn't that
*so* amazing?
