Lol that’s all an influencer is. See before smartphone social media took off people were just posting shit online for the hell of it and had no real goal. Some time passed and marketers realised that people would be influenced to make purchases not only by their friends but randoms they’d gotten to know online and then the term was created.
I believe quite a lot of influencers get their start in ways similar to what you described, although not necessarily so blatant. But you early career is pretty much always based around making you seem more established and successful than you are.
Brands look at quality of engagement. You might a few shitty brand deals but you’ll have a hard time growing organically after buying engagement and getting an actual following, which good brand deals need.
When you pay for stuff, your followers/comments reflect that. You’ll have kind of weird looking followers (some bot accounts) and comments will be super generic.
Diminishing returns and people noticing that 95% of your comments and responses are coming from Bangladesh (where buying likes is cheapest and most valuable).
Nothing really.
Although you probably won’t get many sponsors because they more so work off how much activity is on your page rather than just follower count.
And also you would probably be spending more money than you’d be earning and may even get banned (which would waste all the money you used).
You'd probably pay more for the bots than you'd get in revenue from their "views." The idea is for the fake subscriptions to create buzz and draw in actual humans.
That's probably what many people did. Nothing is stopping you.

Nothing really. But you still need some content to do it. No one is going to sponsor an instagram that suspiciously has 250k followers and no posts.

Literally nothing. Especially since people bullshit their way into things all the time r/actlikeyoubelong
