Why do people ask to score private messages on Vkontakte?

Question

contextual advertising

In promotion/mutual promotion groups on Vkontakte (there people ask others to add them as friends, put likes on their ava, for example this group: https://vk.com/club13295252) I often see people write "Please give me private messages, write what you want." So why bother with private messages? Ban protection?

Answer 1

Imagine a task - to write a network of bots that imitate virtual people with a set of connections with each other, including relatives and workers, communicating with each other, changing avatars, statuses, sometimes writing all sorts of wise blizzards, quoting popular publics. Then again and posting a link to the advertised site. 2 weeks have passed, another link.
You won't believe it, but building such a network for 20k bots costs a lot of money. And there are plenty of "respectable" companies that are willing to pay for such promotion with links. This task was one of the reasons (but not the only one) why I quit. I am pissed off by bots writing to me, and I was not going to make a network of the new twenty thousand. Ask why you are asked to write something to them or make friends with them? If this is a person you do not know, there is a 1/2 chance that this is a bot, and he needs to correspond with a real person so that he is not banned.

Answer 2

Make a beautiful screen and show it to a friend to make it seem important, etc. If a person is ordered to advertise, such a screen can also be useful. It's just that few people know about f12. Someone thinks that the more friends, the cooler he seems. Or let's say a person makes a group in which he sells something and the number of friends will create the appearance that he has been doing this for a long time and he can be trusted.

Answer 3

Everything is outrageously simple! Create very eventful pages (heaps of friends, subscribers, likes, unread messages), then sell. Users are very fond of rolling their popularity, such as "Look how everyone wants me!". A peculiar image. And if it’s not difficult to wind up friends and subscribers through bot guides, then with a personal account this can only be done manually.

Answer 4

There can be no question of protection from a ban, these requests are simply to increase the number of unread dialogues

Answer 5

I agree with the post above. And also a larger number of "friends" increases the insignificant chance that there will be a sense from a person's publications, maybe sales will be trampled.
And there are clinical cases that just want to be popular (more friends, more messages). They are even willing to pay for it. So, on TV they show all sorts of geeks / freaks).

Answer 6

Like: “write me a message, at least a regular emoticon, I want to get 500 messages, why are they asking to score a PM on VKontakte Why are they asking to score a private message with VKontakte messages
