finally found xo with 16k paid instagram followers

I've seen it mentioned in comments a few times that a Chi O has over 16,000 followers, but no one said who. Some guys were laughing about it this weekend and told me. She followed me like months ago, so I followed her, but didn't notice the numbers. WTH? Why do these girls buy followers and likes? Do they do it to pretend they're popular or to feel good about themselves? We're friends on FB, but I don't know her, which I'm sure is the same thing the 25+ people she adds daily says. LOL. I noticed all the new fb friends added coming up on my feed everyday, so I should have known it could be the same person. Again, is this to look popular? I accepted her because we had hundred of mutual friends, but I know there's no way she knows all of them personally.

I'm embarrassed for her. My XO friend said they are all embarrassed. Is the guy in several of her posts not embarrassed? Girl, pay for some therapy instead of likes or better yet, donate to charity what you spend on buying fake friends. I just want to find her and hug her to tell her she doesn't need to do this. This is so weird.
