Way to understand which Instagram and Twitter accounts have paid for followers and likes

It is a fact that many users of social media and especially Instagram have become obsessed with how many likes and followers they will gather in their profile. 

There are many out there, teenagers and adults, who follow the stories on Instagram and the tweets on Twitter and try in every way to raise the profile of their profile.

Besides, the "fans" on social media have become, some years now, the new barometer of the reputation of public figures, artists, but also companies. 

Everyone is chasing likes and followers as there is a philosophy behind it. When one sees a lot of followers and a lot of activity in retweets one assumes that this person is important.

Everyone wants to see their likes, views, and followers/followers soaring. These elements are the main measure of influence and recognition.

However, with the proliferation of likes and followers on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, the story began to become suspicious. How is it possible, for example, for a Greek soubise woman to have more likes than Monica Bellucci and Giselle? (Because we saw that too).

Is all this true and real? The New York Times published a multi-page report on the buying and selling activities of fake followers and bots on social media. 

The revelations have already sparked the interest of the Attorney General of New York, who said that an investigation is underway as there are serious allegations that companies are selling fake followers and likes to those who want to raise the profile of their social media profile. 

In other words, we are talking about an empire of fake reputation on social media. 

The first bills they offer are high-quality bills, but then it becomes apparent with minimal care that they are fake.

So the question that arises is this: All those who are stuck with social media, how many real followers do they have on Instagram and Twitter?

And if they "bought" them, how will we know?

One of the things you can do is compare your followers to the likes of a profile. It is impossible for a profile to have hundreds of followers and its likes to be much less.

One account for every 1,000 Instagram followers should receive about 30 likes per photo or tweet. 

Another way is to notice how many comments it collects in each post that has the profile. According to surveys, someone with 5,000 Instagram followers should have about 13 comments per photo he uploads.

Finally, see who the followers are and observe their profiles. Check the profile picture, whether it is generic (with Google source) or the standard Twitter or Instagram symbol. If they follow a number of accounts but have no followers. See also if they have not made enough posts.
