There are two accounts on Spotify that appear to follow almost everyone on the popular music platform, but what the heck is going on?
Spotify is one of the, if not the biggest music app out there, with millions of people using it on a regular basis. Most of you probably didn't pay much attention to your followers, as for the most part it's just irrelevant. But maybe you should check to see, if these two weird accounts are among your followers, because I just did, and they are!
Who Are These Weird Followers on Spotify
The two accounts in question have two different character s from the Studio Ghibli movie Ponyo as their profile picture, and apparently following a large chunk of Spotify's user base. We did a quick check in our office and would you know, out of 11 people we asked in the office, 10 people said yes.
Maybe you too should check, too, their names are ! lucasrpx and ! vitornovaes and while they have since been disabled on Spotify, they are still visible.
The topic has since blown up on Twitter and TikTok, as more and more people realized the two accounts in their Follower list.

While those exact two accounts might not pose a threat anymore (if they ever did at all), once we checked, there was another suspicious follower with a similar username.
Although it's unclear whether they're actually connected to hackers (as some users claim) you should make sure to block them nonetheless. Spotify disabled these accounts for a reason, and if you don't want to f*ck around until you find out, just block them for good measure.
We asked Spotify for a statement regarding these suspicious accounts, but have yet to receive an answer.
