A lot of this problem seems to come from Facebook/Twitter showing:

"You have 3 followers"

Perhaps it would be better if they showed publicly facing ranges:

  - < 1,000 followers
  - < 2,500 followers
  - < 5,000 followers
  - < 10,000 followers
Then above 10,000 (or whatever) it shows the actual number.

I see these fake like paid services losing a ton of business if social platforms took this approach.



Then you'd just spend $20 extra and buy 10k+ followers :)


Facebook et al would be able to spot 10,000+ like purchases a lot easier than a few hundred.


Then you buy them in batches of 2k/week.

In all seriousness, I've actually purchased 10k Twitter followers for $10. Twitter did not care one bit.
