RE: USA Today gained millions of fake FB followers - Some thoughts on why a Blockchain Social Media Platform can be different

in #fake8 years ago

The reason why a lot of these spam accounts are coming from poor 3rd world countries is because someone is paying them to make lots of spam account or they are bots that can easily randomly generate information and create a fb account or they are trying to scam they're fans it's probably most likely to be both

Sort:  

Yeah, it's like they are profiting off both.

with the goal of scamming and spamming their users.

Say for instance someone at USA today paid all these users anonymously to boost their follower amount. They get paid for it, then they double-dip and decide while they are at it to try and scam people as well.

As someone from a 3rd world country, I can assure you not everyone is spamming / bot here.

I'm sorry I know know that but I also know there is a lot scammers from there but I'm not surprised if money is tight
