i dont think its always bought. Most skateboarding hashtags attract fake pages
very true..but i think the new wave thinks likes/views/followers etc are the end all be all. You see it in these comments - oh, he the followers, he should be pro. It reminds me of the where's the fisheye clip saga...the pirate went at DP with follower count. I think plenty of skater's skaters that don't give a shit - guys like AA, dickson, manderson, daan, JJ, etc. that aren't worried about their hashtag game.
