    I had no idea how cheap it was to buy followers, and even positive comments! I always wondered how influencers afforded buying followers. When you’re paying for nothing and being gifted everything, it frees up money for this. 🤢😑😑😑

      Edited to add: how sad that they buy fake followers. It’s so absurd. What kind of society do we live in that popularity is so important that people think it’s acceptable or normal to do that? :((

          Yep, absolutely fraudulent as they use the artificially inflated follower numbers to negotiate big bucks collabs and promo deals with companies.

          But why? I hate lies. A lie is a lie. Just be honest. Show your true self flaws and all, be authentic. Wouldn’t you rather that then be known as a fraud or a liar?
