The playlist for work needs new fodder? Anyone who likes to use music when writing, drawing, programming etc. can find their favorite songs on platforms like Spotify. Great: You can even edit public playlists together with colleagues or friends. Stupid: When someone in the team takes over everything and you can’t do anything about it.
Spotify: Bot ruins playlists
Ashley, Emma, Elsie: Bot with many names
The bot that takes over playlists disguises itself as a normal user and is called “Ashley”, “Emma” or “Elsie”. According to Mashable, it seems that users hope to protect themselves against him by including messages in the titles of their playlists. One of them reads, “Ashley, stop adding songs to my playlist.” Musician and TikToker JW Francis was one of the first to address the bot. His guess as to the origin: It could be an advertising account. If you add the song to as many public playlists as possible, the number of listeners for an artist should increase.
