I've read the whole thread and I don't know if I should, or I shouldn't type this message. Anyhow, based on my experience, there are two things while botting, first, remove traces, second, destroy patterns.
Back in days, I used to do massive follow/unfollows on Instagram (which grew one of my accounts over 1k in less than one week from zero without any posts), and about Spotify, as I heard from my close friends in the industry, these guys don't mess around. The (fishy) royalty payments will go straight under some human eyes and as time passes, their developers do more defensive programming than before.
Finally, unless you're a big artist or considered a celebrity, botting (if detected) will destroy the possible natural growth on the platform. If you still want to do it, go on, but don't keep the requests on the same IP. They might not have an anomaly detection on that certain endpoint yet, but sooner or later they'll send for you.
