Content revised 21 October 2026.

A follower package may increase a displayed number without creating a relevant audience. Review authenticity rules and business purpose before paying for promised popularity.

Check what is being sold

Distinguish genuine platform advertising from a service promising a fixed block of followers. The latter may involve artificial or unsuitable accounts. A claim that followers are “real” does not prove their interest or the method used.

Protect the account

Do not give an unknown seller passwords, recovery codes or broad account access. Review connected applications and permissions. X’s authenticity policy addresses inauthentic activity and manipulation.

Choose a useful alternative

Improve the profile, publish relevant explanations and consider eligible advertising only with a measured goal. Evaluate relevant visits and conversations rather than the counter alone. There is no guaranteed conversion from purchased followers to customers.

Official guidance: X authenticity policy.
