Isn’t the whole point of Twitter is that your followers like your content and that’s why they follow you? People get satisfaction from getting more followers because that means more people are liking what they have to say. If you buy more followers then your just getting a stat not real people who care about what you say. I would rather have 200 followers who cared then 10,000 fake ones.

It’s is not so bad. I think everyone will accept after asked if they would like to be “bought” to follow them.

If they’re THAT desperate for an entourage, let them pay!

Pretty sad, when you think about it.

I think that counts as cheating, as the whole point of following somebody is that you find them interesting. If people can buy followers, it defeats the purpose of Twitter.

If relationships can be bought (isn’t that whtat uSocial is offering?) then can you sue your followers when they stop following? After all you paid for their attention.
