What stuns me is that we all know these junk accounts are easy to make, purely by how easy it is to make our own accounts.

We know they cost nothing to us, and so, any time we find a website and approach it as a total stranger and create a cheap account quickly, we know other strangers are capable of the same.

So, clearly no substantial population is buying into fake news.

Those that do, are likely also paying hundreds of dollars on craigslist for viagra, using escrow accounts.

I don't think the general population realizes how easy or effective automation is in these contexts.

But also those ads are more about delivering exploits than actual product sales.
