excuse me, what are click-farmers again?

If you look up ‘buy Twitter followers’ or ‘Facebook likes’ in your browser, you will discover a string of advertisements and links to social media management organisations that are ready to sell you a thousand followers for just $7. These followers are mistaken for bots in many scenarios, whereas they can very well be profiles made by a rigorous process, where an individual earning $1 a day makes approximately 100 to 150 fake accounts in a day. To highlight this key moment of my thesis research, I created a tangible frame of reference that captures the chronological order of activities in which account and click farmers engage. Each turn in the table represents a shift in activity and each angle equates to the number of minutes spent on the activity per account-creation cycle. While the table grows outwards, it behaves as a step-by-step info-diagram that isolates the significant parts of the process.
