It happened to me as well.

I heard that FA was purging watch-bots from the system. That's ok, as I'd rather have real watchers who are interested in my art.

Don't panic, dude. We need to think about it for a sec; how many watchers didd you have before?

FA just did a purge of a lot of 'watch bot' accounts. Accounts that would be automated to watch people en masse. 2 of them were watching me (one called TheNSA and another with alien in the name) and now they're both gone from my list. I'm happy to see the NSA one go, as that one caused me a lot of unwanted paranoia and panic when it popped up.

Yeah, I had those too, as well as several others. I don't mind losing them.

yep, the same happened here too , watch and faves who're removed by user, pretty annoying

Well it was a real surprise to me. I guess they were something called 'watch-bots' some kind of automated program, and I don't really care to have something like that watching me.

just bots working for the popufurs to get their numbers up i guess

Yeah, don't need them.

I lost only two watchers in the last two, but I did not really know them that well. Watch bots are a definite possibility. Don't like watch bots, they slow everybody's internet loading time. I'm not worried about the current situation. So long as your real buddies are still watching you, you've got not a thing to worry about.

Yes, it makes me uneasy having something like that watching me, like what are the after. Anyway, I still have my adoring fans XD.
