Today, many fields from politics to sports, from economy to e-commerce are trying to reach their target audiences by actively using social media. In addition to these areas, the number of illegal betting sites and those who aim to create information pollution is not small.
In this order, where the main goal is to reach more people and gain interaction, an economic wheel has also formed within itself. How Does?
“Affordable multi-follower account for sale”
The ‘bot account’ on social media has long been known and even traded. A large number of artificial followers and interactions can be purchased with a short internet search. However, the trade wheel on social media is not limited to this.
Another cog in the wheel is ‘accounts for sale with organic followers’. In this shopping, a large number of unique users who have followed the accounts they are interested in also determine the value of the account that goes on sale. In other words, it is the ‘organic follower’ mentioned in the ad…
With the change of hands, users are exposed to unexpected accounts and content.
According to IT expert Tolga Mürtezaoğlu, this handover process is one of the main reasons why users encounter accounts and posts they are not interested in. Another reason is the permissions given to social media platforms.
“Sometimes you realize you are following accounts you don’t want. So you come across something you didn’t expect. One of the reasons for this is that an account you follow changes name, sells, changes hands, or stays dormant as a bot account at the time and then changes its content completely.”
“It is dangerous to increase the number of followed accounts, not decrease them”
Another reason for encountering unwanted content is the permissions granted. According to Mürtezaoğlu, even if the user’s own account is not stolen, it is possible to become a potential follower for sale due to the applications and websites that the user unwittingly allows.
“When entering the social media platform, you can allow some applications and websites to access your account, sometimes temporarily or indefinitely. Even if your account is not stolen as soon as allowed services are hacked or sold inside information, you can actually become a potential follower for sale. It is not dangerous to decrease the number of accounts you follow beyond your control, but it is dangerous to increase.”
Important to check followed accounts
While many of us are using social media, we also follow accounts that share our interests, apart from the people we know. Therefore, the number of accounts followed is constantly increasing. Although it may seem like a waste of time to check this list frequently, it is the most basic precaution that can be taken in order not to encounter unwanted content and not to become a follower for sale. In addition, another measure that can be taken is to review and manage the permissions granted to social media platforms.
