SPOTIFY ACCUSED ME OF ARTIFICIAL STREAMING FOR 46 STREAMS ?!

SPOTIFY ACCUSED ME OF ARTIFICIAL STREAMING FOR 46 STREAMS ?!

I released a song a month ago and it's got a very low number of streams so far.
On Spotify for Artists Desktop it says 616 all-time streams.

On Spotify for Artists Mobile it says 570 all-time streams.

I contacted Spotify for Artists customer support and they said they've detected artificial streaming.
WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD PAY BOTS FOR 46 STREAMS?????
WHO?
If I wanted to cheat the system, I'd buy myself a hit song.
Spotify is right for wanting to prevent artificial streaming, but this is MASSIVE proof that the AI detection system they use is clearly faulty.

As always, they asked me to contact my distributor and once again an indie artist is caught in a game of ping-pong.

 

I am furious, because this is not the first time this has happened to me and now it's blatant that the system is broken.
