I have come across some persons who sell social media accounts like Facebook, Instagram and the likes as their business. They create these accounts, then grow it to the point where the accounts have thousands of followers then leave it for a few years then sell it. The older the accounts the higher the value. What do you think about this kind of businesses? I noticed it is people who are into scamming on social medias are the ones who usually but this accounts more often.

I agree that these accounts can be used misused by unscrupulous individuals, such as scammers, which is obviously worrying. At the same time, some people might find a legitimate use for these accounts, but this really depends on the situation.
Facebook was used by the bad users like a drug den. Many accounts were removed by Meta Facebook because of rampant scamming. There were 63, 000 Facebook accounts removed by Meta the other week because of their scamming activities.
That thing is not a business. It is just a fluke one time sales thing. Why would I sell social media accounts that I can use to make money?
I have come across people selling social media accounts with a huge following, but I am not comfortable buying one. It seems a bit sketchy to me.
Since I personally won't buy social media accounts, I don't see the business of selling them as viable enough.
