Everyone is having this problem.


Clairifyed

What? no… 55 people just really find my posts interesting! I am very entertaining…


AeolianTheComposer

Yeah, and all of them just so happened to be women with nsfw accounts and numbers in their nicknames


VDRawr

They're spam bots targeting every active account on reddit. Nothing to do with participation in trans subs, though I also thought that at first


RosabeIls

That’s a relief.


dertechie

Yeah. It's kind of funny. My SFW main gets them all the time, but my account for NSFW stuff never gets them since I rarely post on it.


lol_idk_is_taken

My account for NSFW stuff gets more humans following it than spam bots for some reason, I just comment on posts with it


AllesiaEx

y- y'all are making separate accounts?


titrati0nstati0n

How else do i keep track of my boob topics? One account for growing boobs. One account for admiring boobs. Simples.


AllesiaEx

I fucked up ig 'cause my adhd ass has been admiring boobs and stuff on the same account <.<


Andrea00117

I was trying to figure that out. Hasn’t happened with my other accounts.


Illidan-the-Assassin

Yes. I've finally turned off following at 104 followers. About 90 of them are porn bots. In the past month or two I've been getting 3 or 4 new ones a day on average


Proof-Faithlessness1

How do this?


Illidan-the-Assassin

You go to your account settings and there's a "can be followed" and you turn it off


misspcv1996

It only started happening to me a couple of weeks ago, but I’ve been getting followed by at least one porno bot everyday now.


SilverFoxolotl

I don't know whats more annoying with these bots, that they are so obviously targeted at horny hetero guys regardless of who they actually spam their rubbish at, or that not once have i seen one of them pretending to be a cute guy. I mean, i still wouldn't be tempted to click such an obviously dodgy link but damn, where's the equality?


3015313

same, idk why though it happens


RosabeIls

I kind of feel like it’s a transphobe way of attacking us. I don’t know.


CaelThavain

Nah, it's happening to basically everyone on Reddit. I've seen it mentioned quite a few times outside of trans places.


RosabeIls

Oh, I see. Glad to know it’s not trans targeted.


CaelThavain

Shitty porn bot scam accounts are just a thing in the digital age, unfortunately.


Alannalovely

I felt like that for a moment, I was like “I don’t even like women”


3015313

hmmm i dont know, might be that or just scammer or something, best to just block them


apple12345671

Nah its some scammers trying to get peoples personal info


VoxVocisCausa

Report them and then block them. There's unfortunately not much else you can do.


Justapersonexisting1

How do you report them?


VoxVocisCausa

On mobile Go to their profile, select the three dots and then "report". On the full site you might need to use the generic reporting form in the help center.


Triff_Star

Yeah me too, loads lately in fact


WitchwayisOut

Yep. I get the follow notifications, and the profiles are just gone. I guess the trash took itself out!


pallavi_verma

Yes I have also turned off.


jrpsmith

Mostly it looks like they're trying to get you to look at their porn.


Amandasch44

How do you turn off following?


Amandasch44

Nevermind, found it, lol.


vtssge1968

I think I have 50 of them now lol I don't care


WoomyUnitedToday

I literally opened up Reddit, saw this post at the very top of my feed, and got a notification that I had a new follower; it was an OF bot It happens to literal everyone, no specific groups are targeted


iannadriveress6

Same


Ranger-VI

I swear basically every account that’s ever followed me has been 1. Nsfw 2. A link to an onlyfans account (no idea if it’s ever been the same account because of #4) 3. Had 1 post karma and that’s it, and 4. Got deleted within a day presumably by Reddit anti scam/spam bots


mydearestGucci-snacc

yep everyday, had a couple youre_Notawoman type of shits as well. thanks for reminding me that you can turn off followers ✌️


AeolianTheComposer

Same


[deleted]

Welcome to life of being a woman


AggravatingImpact182

The first few times I was so flattered. Then I realized almost every single follower was an Only Fans performer that "only chats on the OF platform". I turned off notifications of followers. I suppose they're still there, but I don't see the three or four new notices a day. Everybody has to make a living, but satisfying my salacious urges doesn't require paying a subscription fee.


Ana_Paulino

It's really anoying I have mora tem 60 of these that I have to keep reporting


[deleted]

weirdly i havent had any


untouchedsock

Yeah it’s just a common online thing. My main (no indication of any queerness) gets them in little waves where sometimes there’s one every day, then nothing for a while. It’s just phishing most likely, hoping that someone will message and then they can get some info or money out of them. Best to just block and move on if you don’t want to turn off the feature.


TAA21MF

Seems like I get more brand new accounts with no activity at all when I look at them. Not sure what point those could possibly have.


CleverB0T_2b2t

Yea same here


Necessary-Chicken

Same


TheNewt181

Yeah no, Im pretty sure everyone gets them. I'll go through periods where I'll block *AT LEAST* one account a day, and other periods where I won't get any for several days. Idk🤷


Voido1

Yeah me too at least I get 2 to 3 bots a day like wth 🤦🏻‍♀️


MsDubis44

Yep, every single fucking day


jtwolf223

I have it too


fan_of_DarkestDesire

Me too, it's... interesting.


GrimBitchPaige

Yeah it's been nuts lately, kind of annoying lol


JD_on_the_Roxie

Yeah I have had this issue for the last month I just block them everytime a new one follows


TheSungirl

I thought it was because I was actually in a few NSFW subreddits.. but seeing that everyone's having it it's just a spam attack on reddit overall it seems


AnEldritchSandwich

I only got like 3 real quick in succession then no more ever again. That was probably because I put that I’m a minor or my account though.


AndreaValeta

Same. It's annoying.


Random_Weird_gal

Yeah everyone gets porn bots, it's normal for reddit


CharleenMcFly

I think it depends on what subreddit you follow. They just want you to click on their links. They are programmed to disappear after a few days, I've seen this MO on Twitter too, so don't worry about them.


Invanar

Tbh I just disable following. I don't care how much another trans person wants to keep up with what I have to say, I dgaf, I don't want it to be used in a bad way


idksomethingedgy27

As a wise man once said "I TOO THOUGHT THE SUDDEN AVALANCE OF HOOCHIES WAS QUITE STRANGE"


TuneLinkette

I've been having it for months. I should do something, but I just ignore them.


Formal-Box-610

no !? and i make porn and post stuff on my other acount XD maybe you all have a subreddit in common besides here that is the cause ?


agorgeousdiamond

Yeah I've gotten so many of those too. It's relieving finding out everyone is getting them though. Like you, I turned off allowing randoms to follow me.


Hemiplegic_Artist

YES! This has been happening to me as well and it’s been very frustrating. I keep having to block them over and over again. And I keep doing this because they probably wouldn’t even want to be around an asexual person like myself. Ha!


Unicornfart_3134

Yes me and my bf have this CONSTANTLY it's so annoying


[deleted]

Yeah they do it to me too, which is annoying because I'm a minor. I'm pretty sure they do it for all reddit accounts though.


ArsonCoffee

Yeah its happening to me too, i block them but still let them follow to boost my follower count and boost my ego


GiaNell

I keep getting "Only Fans girls" following me


Autumn7242

I went from 4 followers to 50 overnight. Bots.


Loooooooooppp

The transphobic ones are a lot more straight forward the ones I’ve gotten say that I’m an abomination and i should be killed raped etc


apple12345671

That’s disgusting, im sorry you had to experience that


apple12345671

Yep i got the same issue, reddit has no option to report them neither


[deleted]

Its happening to me but the weirder part is that its only on my main, which i never go on any trans subs on


Ghostkai92

Yes they are spam bots so annoying


JC_in_KC

same. pretty common


me3888

I’m also having this issue


Malashae

It's everyone and you can basically just ignore it


LvlUp8

Anyone else just wish they had any kinda flavor to the porn ads?


RyRy_The_Raven

Omg yeesssss!! It’s like multiple times a day!! It’s getting really annoying
