Understanding the Risks

1
Prepare to generate lower engagement rates. Most major social media platforms use algorithms to determine how your content ranks in your followers’ timelines and newsfeeds. Fake Instagram followers aren’t real people, and won’t engage with your Instagram account, which means your content could end up ranking lower in other users’ feeds.^{[2]

Avoid using services that spam your real followers. Most third-party services ask for permission to access your Instagram account so they can post advertisements and other content on your behalf. Stay away from these services, since spam posts can result in your losing real, authentic followers.^{[3]

Understand that having fake followers can affect your online reputation. Many social media users view the act of buying fake followers as deceptive and immoral, which can negatively impact your online reputation. Plus, real Instagram users will often notice when your follower count jumps from a few hundred to a few thousand in just a few days.^{[4]

Know that your Instagram account might be suspended. Major social media platforms are making a conscious effort to prevent and dissuade users from generating fake followers with the goal of creating a more authentic experience for users. Platforms such as Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook are fine-tuning algorithms and features that alert when large numbers of users are following or unfollowing a specific account at any given time. Be aware that your Instagram account could be temporarily or permanently suspended if caught generating fake followers.

No. They are automatically generated bots that follow you when you send the payment.

Your posts will not go viral because the bots do not interact with you. You could install a view and like generator, but good results are not guaranteed.
