A big follower count looks good, but the source decides whether it helps you or quietly hurts you.
Why fake followers backfire
Cheap bot followers are empty accounts. They don't like, comment, or watch — so your engagement rate drops, which is exactly what algorithms and brands look at. Worse, platforms regularly purge them, so the numbers you paid for vanish.
What real growth does
- Holds over time instead of dropping off.
- Supports your engagement rate rather than diluting it.
- Qualifies for a refill guarantee, because the delivery is genuine.
How to tell the difference
Real services are upfront about sourcing, offer refills, and don't promise absurd numbers for pennies. If a deal looks too good to be true, it's bots. Velo delivers from real, active sources, which is why our orders qualify for a 365-day refill.
