Paying someone to follow me is dumb. The profiles who do this are most likely trying to make their follower count high in order to make others think they are important.
The problem is follower counts on Nostr is not important because 1, the followers list takes way to long to load, 2, many of the followers are bots.
I wouldn't do it either but I don't really care if others do it. Until they add some sort of defense like charging 3 Satoshi in order to follow someone then follower and following counts won't matter.
