Tips for Spotting Bots
If you get added to a playlist or work with a company and receive a spike in streams, you should immediately check the amount of your top listener city's listeners.
From there, see what percentage of your total monthly listeners that top city is. If it's anything above 5%, that's an immediate red flag.
Essentially, in organic monthly listener analytics, the top city listener amount is usually only 1-3% of total monthly listeners. Real listeners are spread throughout the world.
Unless you are from that city and have a big fanbase there, organic top city monthly listeners should rarely ever exceed 5%.
