What a fake list looks like
Organic lists grow steadily. We flag the vertical spikes that give away purchased followers.
Thousands of followers but a handful of saves? That mismatch is the classic bot tell.
One curator running dozens of near-identical lists is a farm, and we surface the pattern.
Songs cycled out within days mean paid slots rather than real curation.

We analyse public signals such as follower-to-track ratio, follower-growth pattern, sudden spikes, generic naming and missing descriptions, then compare them against the patterns typical of bot-inflated playlists to produce a 0 to 100 risk score.
