In such a situation, many times your actual followers come to know that there is not as much engagement on your posts as you are showing. In the end, you may also have to lose your actual followers (whom you could have converted).

If you add such followers or subscribers who are not adding any value to your business or taking any actions, then there is no use of keeping such people on your social media.
