Snorting his way across the USA
I created an author page on Facebook about a year ago. Maybe longer than that. For some reason, I have been getting a lot of 'likes' by people I have no connection to, and that aren't even close to my marketing demographic. Most are from India.
Not just that, but most of them are young, male, of questionable heterosexuality, and have timelines populated by repeat posts and semi-English babble. In fact, the last three or four (different individuals) looked like they could possibly even be the same dude.
What I am suspecting here is that someone, possibly Facebook itself, is using automatically generated 'like bot' accounts to 'like' pages. Why? I don't know. Maybe to legitimized paid promotions? Facebook also routinely sends me messages suggesting I do paid boosted posts. (I've tried it a couple times when in a drunken stupor.)
Anybody have any idea what might be happening? I've sold nothing in India.
