Recently I’ve noticed a lot of people tempted to buy followers and other vanity matrix for every social media platform they are present on. There could be several reasons for them to do which are but obvious to guess. In this article we will decode why people should or should not buy any of those services. And also we will be discovering legit ways to grow.
Buy followers for short term benefits and long term loses :
In short term, you will gain a certain level of popularity after buying followers that you can at least flex in front of your classmates. But when it comes to long term social media goals you are at a great loss and I’ll tell you why.
In long term when you have suppose 10k followers but your engagement count is 1-2%. They Instagram will get a message that the content you post seems to be less interesting so it will down-vote you in feed.
Average engagement count for a good social media account must be around 8-10% consistently.
Severe impacts on your social media accounts :
Once any social media platform / any company which is about to sponsor you, will check the behavioral pattern of your followers/consumers. It will become questionable for them to give you any deals. In some cases, you might be lucky that they give you deal on basis of number of followers but that will happen once in a blue moon.
In some cases, social media platform may ban your reach and hinder your account severely, i.e. IG shadow ban.

This feels too much typical because you can not keep track record of how many comments you have made.
