How to not make friends and get shared / why I won't stroke your ego.

A quote from smfollowers.com:

"Almost everyone wants to become popular on Instagram. When you have a large following, you command respect from everyone who views your profile."

  • Evidently, this is not the case. I have zero respect for this guy.

"Being popular on this platform is important if you are an individual or a business. When you are popular as an individual you will look cool and worthy of attention."

  • I would reckon, this guy looks like a self-obsessed individual with a fragile ego, whereby he judges his worth more by others' opinion than by his own... He got the wrong type of attention. Luckily, it's only on instagram and not in real life.

"When your business is popular it will look reputable and high-quality."

  • It will make your business look like this guy. A sham. Untrustworthy. Not willing to put in hard work. Not able to develop a decent image without resorting to deceit. Luckily, it's only on instagram, and not in real life. Mostly.

"Developing a big following take a lot of tedious work and time. Luckily, there’s a shortcut – our Instagram followers service."

  • Invest less, gain more. This is the opposite of how things work in real life.

When you buy Instagram followers from us, you see the boost instantly. Within days your account will become popular.

  • This is bad. A silent explosion draws no attention.

"When people view your new account, they will be surprised."

  • No-one will view the new account (unless you put in all the "tedious, hard work" to engage) as all the "views" will come from bots, hijacked accounts and ghosts.

"They will think that “this person has to be special” or “this business has a lot of fans.”

  • Unless they are not stupid, in which case they will quickly realise that the shit you are posting is nowhere near good enough to garner this kind of attention, and you have merely used a service like this to "look cool", because you are not.

"Your reputation will grow quickly.. "

  • Your reputation as someone who doesn't appear "worthy" of any reputation at all.

"We sell high-quality Instagram followers for a reasonable price. Sign up now!"

  • What is a low quality IG follower? What is a high quality one? If you're going to waste your money and time on crap like this instead of automating it in an intelligent manner: You're worse than this guy.
