I noticed these accounts are following a lot of ppl on Spotify including me nd it doesnβt seem like Iβm the only one from looking on social media. Does anyone have an answer to this? Bots maybe, ppl spam following?
one of the following:
There are multiple copies of them too it seems because the ones that are following me have slightly different display names
... you can follow people on Spotify?
Most likely bots for either data analysis or playlist generation.

You can follow people on Spotify?
They would have to follow 44 people a day for 6 years straight to reach 98,000
Literally noticed this last night on my Spotify
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.
Could possibly be OF bots. You reddit users, remember the bots that would follow you every week or so and had to disable following?
Wow, thanks. They were following me too, and I had no idea. Blocked.
Wouldn't it mean they have 98k followers? Not that they follow 98k users? Bad UI?
They're
a. Fascinated with your content and commentary
b. Bots
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!
