How many of the 1m+ listens were actual humans and how many were bots specifically created to "listen" to the output of a bot?

1. Use AI to make a track
2. Use an army of bots to "listen" to this track, gaming the chart figures
3. Track trends and actual humans listen because they're sheep, boosting the figures further
4. Automated article generators publicise track across the music press sites inducing more sheep to listen
5. ??? (Spotify pays out)
6. Profit!

> I've had to use so many different layouts of keys (not even counting non-US keyboards), that touch typing wouldn't have helped me much.

Same here. I use a Mac for work and have more than one PC for leisure. All the keyboards are different. Plus I have some wireless keyboards I use occasionally. They're different again.

If I'd learnt to touch type on the first computer I ever programmed on it would have been particularly useless for the future (Sharp MZ-80K). Plus, try to touch type on a ZX81, I dare you.

Oh, they do. Problem being that tends to be exclusively what they are doing (until they look at their phone, of course) when they should also be looking where everybody else in the immediate vicinity is going. You're lucky if they even bother looking where they've been.
