Buying followers (even those claimed to be "live") violates the terms of service of most social media platforms (such as TikTok, Instagram, WeChat, etc.). This practice carries multiple risks:
- Account penalties: Platforms use algorithms to detect fake engagement; your account may face suspension, shadowbanning, or permanent closure.
- No real value: "1 yuan for 1000 followers" services often provide bots or inactive accounts, which do not contribute to genuine interaction (likes, comments, shares) or business conversion.
- Security threats: Sharing your account information with untrusted third-party sites may lead to data leaks or account hacking.
For sustainable follower growth, focus on legitimate strategies:
- Create high-quality, audience-centric content;
- Interact actively with your followers (reply to comments, join discussions);
- Use platform features (hashtags, challenges, live streams) to increase visibility;
- Collaborate with other creators in your niche to expand reach.
Genuine growth takes time, but it builds a loyal audience that brings real value to your account or brand. Avoid shortcuts that harm your long-term development.
