No offense, but I think that anyone with a social media presence is insecure, unless for business marketing. I'm obviously a weird guy in that regard, but I'm comfortable with it.They’re not fake individuals. They are financially successful and do business with high profile individuals to whom they leverage as social proof.
One can say social proof in itself is fake as it fails to describe the individual outside of the social group. Irregardless, social proof is effective. Results in your desire (as long as you are not hurting others in the process) is what matters. All other reasoning to the contrary are ego rationals and thus excuses to fail.
