I noticed these accounts are following a lot of ppl on Spotify including me nd it doesn’t seem like I’m the only one from looking on social media. Does anyone have an answer to this? Bots maybe, ppl spam following?
Most likely bots for either data analysis or playlist generation.
I didn't even know people could follow me on Spotify. These two were the only ones.
Same
Could possibly be OF bots. You reddit users, remember the bots that would follow you every week or so and had to disable following?
That’s not really what the word “followers” means.
They're
a. Fascinated with your content and commentary
b. Bots
Wouldn't it mean they have 98k followers? Not that they follow 98k users? Bad UI?
It doesn't show how many they follow, but it's probably in the millions
One of them is following me, but with a bunch of extra spaces after the exclamation point.
I don't usually check my followers, but I happened to be in there a couple days ago. The only person following me then was my wife, so this bot/spam is relatively new.
Wtf me too - the Lucas one plus all the spaces. I never even really use Spotify. Creepy.
Edit they are literally my only follower aside from one single friend I know irl.
I have set the list of people following me and the ones i follow on private now. This seems to be the only useful thing they could scrape. Why would i care if they can see what music i listen to? It's not like they can see my personal info and link that or is it?
Thanks, blocked.
Oh no, not Lucas!
