It is worth noting that it is trivial to buy fake stars for a project you are not affiliated with. The reason someone might do this would be to "test" the purchasing of fake stars without risking contaminating their own project.

I once bought a friend of mine a thousand Twitter followers as a prank. He wasn't happy.

As he should be, that wasn’t a well thought through prank.

Am I missing something, that seems like a decent prank. It’s harmless.

No, his friends account is flagged as a spammer now and gets less visibility.

Where did you purchase that?

I wanna say I got it through Fiverr? This was like 8-10 years ago. I don't remember exactly.
