The third is that it looks like the bot had a rotation happening. The second is that the music didn't share any common theme or genre. The few I checked only had a single follower, and it could have been the artist's personal account - a little like 'liking' your own Facebook post. The factors that lead me to believe that my account was used by a bot is that first, all of the artists that the bot targeted for listening had very very few followers.

As far as I can tell, there is no way for a user to currently view all recent sign in locations nor does Spotify seem to check. If I'm signed in in both Los Angeles where the majority of my traffic is and Romania at the same time, one of those is clearly not right.

I've changed my password and signed out of all locations, but I'd just like to make a record of the artists the bot was targeting for traffic. It looks like my account was hacked earlier this week and my account was being used to give artificial traffic to a few artists who probably paid for the listens/views.
