Buying "likes"

Not very much, really, I think.

Technically, liking a page means sharing that you like it with all of your friends, but one can expect likes "farmed" this way to not have a lot of reach, and it's unlikely that the likes would turn into actual followers/share-ers of content, etc.

But if there _are_ really humans behind the likes, then even if they don't have friends/followers on the accounts they're using to share, at least they might notice what's being promoted-and that being a free game, maybe they'd actually check it out.

Straws, I grasp at them. ;)

I try to keep it interesting. ;)

My head is up in spam. =/ But I can only take so much of it. So maybe it will process through my system and I'll have something else to say?

*sigh*

Sorry. :/
