Hi, We might be using the term differently, but we consider a user sending 5000+ listens a day to be botting. That doesn't mean they're not a human, just that they're not organically listening to 7 songs a minute (or one song every 8.5 seconds). Those are the (very few) accounts we are pausing. 1/2

Which reminds me of... 😅
A screenshot of a reddit post called "[r/radiohead] We're overrepresented on ListenBrainz" above a ListenBrainz graph that does indeed show that.
A comment below, circled in red, by mayhemchaos, reads: "Yes, very true, we still need to fix that."

Hi! Best I can suggest for ListenBrainz is to subscribe to the atom feed (weekly playlists, top albums, album art grids, etc.) and use a service that transfers those to email. Found a few after a quick search for "atom feed to email", but can't recommend one in particular. Look for this icon: — M
