I wonder how many of the accounts are from out of country, or how many of them are paid for. I read that you could buy followers on both YT and FB, so the follower and engagement numbers, do they really mean anything anymore? But lots of people like kool-aid. Lots of people just like to hate, does not matter who they hate, so long as they have someone or something to hate, they think they are happy.
That was a lot of digging/dumpster diving you did.
Thanks. Yes, likes, follower, retweets etc can be bought quite easily. But looking at the scale of this operation in comparison to some super spam operations on twitter this one seems relatively small, so they could just have easily had one person spend a couple of days setting up a 100+ accounts. Once the accounts are set up they can then just be automated.
