Let’s say your favorite bodybuilding personality has over one million followers on his or her social media page and touts that number as if it made them royalty. While that may appear impressive on face value, there are a good amount of people who pay for these exorbitant stats.

Likes and follows can be purchased and administered through what is called click farms that operate globally, with many in third-world countries.
