To be honest, buying followers and/or doing the whole follow back/sub 4 sub thing, all you're doing is increasing a hollow number.
I would say to those who are considering it to get by on their own merit, and actually give a shit about what they're producing rather than an artificial inflated number that strokes their fragile little ego.
I agree but also unfortunately on the internet as i say people are attracted to follow people that have big followings just because. Lol
