The answer

Following accounts that predominantly feature objectionable content or religious prohibitions is impermissible, because the follower assists in disseminating the content, and "he who points to evil is like its doer." Furthermore, the concept of selling followers is based on deception, and "whoever claims to have been given what he has not been given is like one who wears two garments of falsehood." Therefore, earning money through this method is not allowed.
