Why are my playlists with just local files getting likes?

[yule]

To organize my local files I turn them into playlists per album because it's hard to search for them otherwise. I've noticed that some of them have likes. I thought people wouldn't be able to even see the local files let alone listen to them. I'm confused lol Has anyone experienced this?

Hey yule 😊

If your playlist is public, other users can see it along with the track names, but they won't be able to reproduce them. You could try making the playlists private by following the steps here: https://support.spotify.com/us/article/playlist-privacy-and-access/.
