    Our investigation uncovered records showing many celebrities, business leaders and athletes bought their own followers on Devumi. In other cases, the purchases were made by their employees, agents, family members or other associates.http://nyti.ms/2GmX0bz

        Can I get a fake girlfriend to follow me. The family is starting to ask too many questions.

        I could follow you, but I am a man, and that may make your family ask more questions...or not.

        Buying followers on social platforms has been common practice for a decade. It exploded with the Kardashians & the realization millions could be made from followers and advertisers. There is no new information to be had in this article. Just name checking and shaming.

        There are a ton of Russian bots that follow all the news pages. I don't think they bought them but I could definitely be wrong.

        I confess. I purchased the majority of my Twitter followers. And if I’m being really honest, I’ve paid for the majority of my real life “friends”, too.
