  Nice discovery! I suspected the same, since all the accounts were made a few months ago, but I couldn't find any on any of the other streaming services. It could be that you're right, that this fake artist used to be on Spotify but was removed. But that doesn't explain why you can find e.g. Romilda Gebbia on Spotify but not on YouTube. When I think about it, it could also be that the spammer is on multiple services, but they use different algorithmically generated artists for each service. What was extremely useful in you finding this on YouTube, is that we can see by which distribution service they got access to the streaming services (information that all the other services hide, annoyingly). It's a French World Music thing. Which is especially interesting, since I also traced back the "Belle Wood" spammer to a French World Music thing, although a different one (divercities/diMusic). I wasn't 100% sure if they had anything to do with the spam, they could plausibly be a victim of it themselves, but now I have more circumstantial evidence. Thanks! (If you know of a less noisy forum where we could discuss tracking down/locking out algorithmic spammers, I would be grateful.)
