Do you know them/talk to them?
I receive all of this shit in my inbox because people share their tracks to me. I don't listen to any of it.
Yeah it's usually people I've had varying levels of contact with. Wouldn't just send tunes to randomers I've never heard of obviously.

you don't get to choose who follows you, only who you follow
i don't just click on follow for someone because they are from say here, or leave me a comment or to bump up stats or whatever etc.
i follow people who's music i genuinely want to receive updates on their music or label etc

sometimes the person sends the tune to me and the label

because the label email is linked to my own email, I get double spammed
