pros and cons of buying Facebook followers and views

Honestly, I’ve been on both sides of this — bought followers early on just to give my page a boost, and later tried to grow organically. The short-term feels good, like instant validation, but over time, it really doesn’t build anything real. Fake followers don’t engage or support you, so your community feels empty and trust takes a hit. Plus, algorithms can spot that and bury your content, making growth even harder. Real connections come from slow, genuine effort — answering comments, sharing authentic stories, and being consistent. It’s frustrating sometimes, but that’s what builds loyal followers who truly care. So yeah, quick numbers look nice, but real trust and community? They need time and honesty.
