A profile with 150 followers looks more trustworthy than one with 100. If you are brand new, those extra 50 numbers might encourage a real human to hit the follow button because they see others have done so.
Build 50 real followers who care about your niche. It takes longer, but those 50 will lead to 500. Fake followers lead only to a dead account.
