The first odd thing about the Victory Lab FB page: how come the top two recommendations are to users in India?
The second odd thing: this post got 3,500 likes, and no other reactions at all.

Just one example: hashtag MeadeConNuevaAlianza.

Almost 60k mentions in 48 hours. Quite a spike, but it could be organic.

That's an average of 4.4 posts per user.

That's at least double what would be normal for organic traffic.
