A streaming service-gaming guide for fans was reposted to Bieber’s official Instagram account on Thursday night (January 9) and was subsequently flagged by a number of social media users.
As reported by the Verge, the now-deleted post first appeared on fan account, Outlyning (which has 115,000 followers), stating:
To amplify the single’s Spotify streams, the guide urged fans to “create a playlist with Yummy on repeat and stream it”.
It further instructed fans to “let it play while you sleep” – but, presumably to avoid Spotify’s fraud detection measures, suggested that they avoid muting the track, and instead play it “at a low volume”.
The post encouraged fans outside the US to use a VPN, and to set their location to the USA so that their streams counted towards the Billboard charts.
