Yeah, this is all well known information for people who do social media marketing. As long as you are good at your job and actually spend time creating a good ad with strategic audience targeting and specific interest / geo-targeting, you'll be fine.
isn't there a certain viral-intertia element to it? Even if the first 10,000 are fake, you still have the next 1000 being real people who think 10,000 people have vouched for you.
The extent of the value of buying likes (which will probably end up fake) is solely to establish some shred of credibility for a new page.
Anything more than a couple 1,000 "fake" likes is actually damaging to your page and to any future advertising efforts because Facebook only shows any given post or ad to a small slice of your audience until your post proves that users are engaging with it, which signals Facebook to expand your reach.
So if a large chunk of your audience is fake your posts will mostly be seen by nobody, have little engagement, and damage your future efforts to get posts seen, costing you even more money in advertising to see any results.
