Then his phone buzzed. His mother had tagged him in a post on her wall. It was the same photo—Leo holding the white box. The caption: “So proud of my son’s new venture! Check out 500 Likes Auto Liker!”

It no longer waited for him to post. It started suggesting posts—drafting them in his saved folder. At first, they were harmless: “Feeling grateful today.” He deleted it. Two hours later: “Gratitude is the engine of growth.” He deleted that too. And Leo had been Patient Zero
That’s when the ad found him: “500 Likes Auto Liker – Instant Social Proof. Real-looking accounts. $19.99/month.”
