I remember the first time I saw this effect. It was late 90s and I was working one of my first jobs at a bar/grill. The owner would pack everyone in at the front first, then tell people wait times after that. I thought the goal of this was always efficiency - it wasn’t. It was to create FOMO. Make people think it is THE place to eat or drink on the weekends and you can pack the place regardless of if you are mediocre or not. Sure enough it worked. Same thing digitally - inflate the amount of followers artificially and increase the amount of folks who will follow you.
Is the Bar and Grill still open?
For 30 years then he sold it when he retired and is now a standard sports bar. Dead now.
This was prob his MO since end of 70s. Pumping up Twitter followers with bots seems basically the digital equivalent.
People just want to feel they are in the heart of the action. Nothing wrong with a little extra lipstick on the marketing with fake line ups.
It’s deceitful. Which is the devils work. Not about all that:
