Would you rather have 25,000+ Twitter followers or 2,500 followers? I think I already know your answer. You’d want the higher following. But would you consider paying for part of the 25,000 followers or be curious (or care) if some were spam accounts?
According to a study by Social Selling University, “fake” followers, which basically are spam accounts with only one tweet or a few followers, are being bought. In return, this popularity contest leads “tweeters” to believe it will ramp up their image. The average price for buying $1,000 followers is $18.
