Why Buying Followers and Engagements on Social Media is Not a Good Idea

People use social media for personal as well as professional success. However, in the quest for quick success on social media, many social media users start buying followers and engagements. However, this comes with significant drawbacks:

Lack of Engagement: When you buy followers, they are either fake (people who create accounts just to follow other accounts) or bots (software). Therefore, there will be no meaningful engagement to your posts.

Penalty from social platforms: Social media algorithms can detect fake followers, which will not only impact your visibility and credibility but also create a risk of account suspension.

This is very true and real, buying followers doesn't make a significant change to your social media account , the only change is in the number of followers and even some of these followers may still unfollow after a while .

Buying followers may give the illusion of popularity and credibility, but it doesn't guarantee genuine engagement or long-term success. These purchased followers are often inactive or fake accounts that don't contribute to meaningful interactions or conversions.

When someone get followers by giving some money then it remain temporary as after sometime it lose its impact. Same in the case of websites promotion when we use real and organic ways then its impact remain long lasting.

Purchased followers kind of growth is often short-lived and lacks genuine engagement from real users. On the other hand, when websites are promoted through real and organic methods, the impact tends to be more sustainable.
