Most companies that have an online presence want you to believe that they have hundreds or thousands of fans. But the reality is not always like that.
An easy way to make it look like you're popular on social media is to buy fans. And it seems that it's not only small companies that do this, but also many famous and popular artists.
What will come as a surprise to many is the news that the US State Department is also buying likes and likes. According to reports, it spent around 485,000 euros on Facebook likes from 2011 to early 2013.
The ministry does not exactly buy likes, but the money is used for advertising campaigns that lead to an increase in likes.
Their Facebook page went from 100,000 fans to two million.
