New York Times columnist Nick Bilton says it’s easy to rack up thousands of new followers on Twitter and Facebook. For $5, he was able to gain 4000 Twitter and 4000 Facebook followers. Retweets, likes, shares and comments are all for sale. Bilton says these fake followers can help celebrities and politicians appear more popular than they are, swaying public opinion and even legislative agendas.
