Some UK company is stalking me!?! Like they followed me, and before I follow anyone back I always check their timeline, incase they are spammers, nazis or musicians with no other personality than &#8216;marketing my music&#8217;. If they don&#8217;t post I check their likes &#038; replies. But this one company just seemed to be a marketing exercise for an audio service I have no interest in, so I blocked them. Next day, another follow from a generic audio name, with the same pinned tweet advertising that same bizo. Blocked. Every day for about two weeks now they follow me again, with a different account name. And every day I block them. It must be some kind of bot farm, because if there was a human behind the account who actually wanted to connect with me, they could use a personal twitter account. But they don&#8217;t, they continue using new variations of their bot. And I shall continue to block them. What a dumb waste of time&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.musicofsound.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/TPuploads\/2023\/04\/Ft7UGtTWAAIk4dV.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musicofsound.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/TPuploads\/2023\/04\/Ft7UGtTWAAIk4dV.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"827\" height=\"845\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-50064\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.musicofsound.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/TPuploads\/2023\/04\/Ft7UGtTWAAIk4dV.jpg 827w, https:\/\/www.musicofsound.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/TPuploads\/2023\/04\/Ft7UGtTWAAIk4dV-724x740.jpg 724w, https:\/\/www.musicofsound.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/TPuploads\/2023\/04\/Ft7UGtTWAAIk4dV-740x756.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.musicofsound.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/TPuploads\/2023\/04\/Ft7UGtTWAAIk4dV-768x785.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 827px) 100vw, 827px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n\u25b6 clever!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; \u25b6 My Arturia Keystep 37 died yesterday&#8230; Thankfully bought it local, so I checked the purchase date and it was almost exactly 1 year ago I bought it&#8230; I thought, surely the fckng warranty did not&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":11,"footnotes":""},"categories":[121],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-50028","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-detritus"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.musicofsound.co.nz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50028","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.musicofsound.co.nz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.musicofsound.co.nz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.musicofsound.co.nz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.musicofsound.co.nz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=50028"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/www.musicofsound.co.nz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50028\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":50077,"href":"https:\/\/www.musicofsound.co.nz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50028\/revisions\/50077"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.musicofsound.co.nz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50028"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.musicofsound.co.nz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=50028"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.musicofsound.co.nz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=50028"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
