I have noticed a spike in my follower count in the last 24 hours. This isn't the first time it has happened. I have gained approximately 300 followers in 24 hours.

Given that this is only my 14th post and most of the users seem to be new accounts created today, and all reactions and stats on my posts are low, I am confused by this activity.

Are the new followers bots? Is this normal to see on dev.to? What has your experience been?
