Anyone noticing a recent surplus in Kudos Bots lately or just me?

As the title suggests, I've been beginning to notice that my fics when I update them will get a lot of Guest Kudos, while I could just brush it off as an real person, but I'll post a new chapter and next day there's like 5-10+ Guest Kudos on it in a very short timespan, now there's a small chance some of those might be actual people, but I cannot tell if its a real person or a Bot and now whenever I see my Kudos go up on my stats page, I can't be too excited anymore because they're probably bots.

I never felt the need to lock my fics to account only because there might be people who only view my fics without an account and I never get harassed by comments, hell, I only have like one consistent commenter and they've been busy as of late, and I don't wanna gatekeep my fics because of these stupid bots. Yes, that's probably a dumb thing to be upset about, like, "You got a lot of Kudos, you should be happy." But Its like seeing a Comment in your Email just for it to be a scam comment, and unlike Comments, you can't delete Kudos, plus I don't want someone to get the wrong idea that, "Oh his fics are so bad he has to spam Kudos to make it look good!"

Is anyone else having the same experience or are in the same situation as me?
