It shouldn't matter if ads are priced on the basis of ROI instead of per-user (which it is). The ads are only as cheap as they are because they're being farmed, if they weren't they would be much more expensive.

I mean, how it stands now you've compounded the problem given the fake engagement and following you've built and how that changes which posts get promoted.
