Buying Social Media Followers

The only amount of followers I would buy is a very small 'couple of hundred' followers to do as Herrax above me said, to show a little bit of authority. People who go around buying thousands and thousands are just killing their accounts in my eyes. If you had 10,000 people following you (after buying them) but only 2-10 likes on your posts because these people do not engage. That just looks odd and for me, just a bit rubbish. Don't get me wrong, I've done it in the past several times but I really didn't see any actual results from it unless you're just interested in going "Look at me, I have 10k+ followers". It's not for me anyway!
