What's so fake about it?

Completing a list of criteria and scoring well on standardized tests is pretty much all that qualifies somebody for a "degree" from any one of our current post secondary insitutions.

When you wrote "fake Bachelor's degree from some fake accreditation system" I assumed you were talking about the Universities and Colleges of the world.

What's so fake about buying 100,000 followers on twitter? It means you're famous, right?
What does being famous on twitter have to do with creating an education accreditation system?

Maybe Twitter could use a better accreditation system for being famous - is that what you're implying?

You can certainly fake it, but it can only hold for so long. There are degrees today that do not uphold the knowledge you would expect that person to have.
And this is one of them.

Oh wait, except for the "expect to have" part.
