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?

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.
