Fake: Default silhouette or a blurry, pixelated image stolen from Google.

High-Quality: Clear, unique photo of a person, pet, or logo.

2. The Name Game

Fake: "user98234823" or "buy_crypto_now_22"

High-Quality: "sarah_travels", "mike.gym.life", "fashion_by_jen"

3. The Ratio

Fake: Following 7,500 people, Followed by 10. This is a mass-following execution bot.

High-Quality: Following 400, Followed by 300. This looks like a normal human usage pattern.
