Why would someone want to sell (or buy) a social media account, like a Discord or Twitch account, for example?

When somebody is buying a low-level normal user account – and not one with thousands of followers – he is using buying it to commit fraud.
Check this account: [https://www.reddit.com/user/Amazed_Alloy/](https://www.reddit.com/user/Amazed_Alloy/)
It used to be a legitimate account, it is not “farmed” with a Chat-GPT bot posting random stuff. It’s user had a keen interest in trading card games, then stopped using it a few years ago.
Then, suddenly, last Saturday, somebody started posting a link to a fraudulent site that lures people to send bitcoin. It is a professional job – an imitation of a medium article by Elon Musk, a fake counter of bitcoin remaining to make you hurry (delete your cookies and it will start over) and a well-timed campaign starting early in the weekend so that the account does not get an immediate ban. This is what people buying accounts do.
