Fake content social site purpose

    Somehow I found myself on a B2B social site b2binder.com. It lists many companies and also people (often girls having a bikini pic in theiir profile :)). It's obvious most of the users aren't human and the content- pics and names comes from some social sites and companies detials were grabbed from some biz directories. What do you think can be the purpose of such a website? Creating content in order to attract advertisers or getting contacts on real people and companies that register there or something else?

    They do that to get the snow ball effect going on. Not everyone that uses the computer is as tech savvy as you are. So they will not be able to tell the difference between real human or fake human users and will just follow.

    Humans like to follow groups because it is a survival instinct and this reflects even online. Mostly, we do not like to make decisions for ourselves and therefore when we see other humans have tried this we follow in order to stay on the safe side.

    Not sure why I went this deep into explaining.

    Thanks for explanation. BTW it might be a Belarussian project, because it also exists on .by domain and this version seems to be way more realistic.

    I have just found the pics come from VK.

    In my opinion it is easy enough to differ real accounts from those which were created by unreal persons. The reason why such accounts exist can be for example gaining fake likes or reposts, etc. This is one reason, but if you just scan sych accounts you can differ a real one from unreal.
