random manga being added to my follows list

[techies355]

As the title says, random manga are showing up on my follows list. Last week some manga I've never heard of with only 3 chapters (posted about 8 hours before I've seen it) showed up on my updates page. I thought I somehow added it by mistake and ignored it but today I've opened my follow list and there was "tokyo revengers" there, which I'm absolutely sure I didn't add it by mistake. No one else have or ever had access to my account other than me.

2. Expected behaviour:
I expected to not have random manga show up on my follow list

3. Steps to reproduce:
just opening my updates list

4. Environment details:

• Device (e.g. Windows PC, iPhone 14, Mac, Android Tablet): windows 10 pc
• Browser & Version (e.g. Chrome 126, Safari 17, Firefox, Edge, Opera GX): firefox 155.0.1
• Internet Connection (e.g. Home Wi-Fi, Mobile Data / Carrier Name): home wi-fi
• Are you using a VPN, an ad blocker or custom extensions? (Yes/No): vpn

5. Troubleshooting checklist:

• Does this issue still happen in Incognito / Private mode? (Yes/No): yes
• [For Reader Issues] Do you have Data Saver turned on in your settings? (Yes/No):

6. When did this start?
about a week ago

7. Proof (Screenshots/Video):
I've already removed both mangas from my list so there's no screenshot.

I have noticed similar things happening

I've long suspected something similar, but I have no proof aside from "I don't remember adding this". There doesn't seem to be a way to check when something was added to follows, and read markers aren't necessarily a good substitute.

No evidence my account has been used in an inebriated unauthorized manner either.

I’ve been seeing that too. Whatever update was recently implemented seems to have destroyed the update section.

It was me. I added all those cancelled isekai revenge manga to your follows list.

Just hope they don't remove titles from your follows list. that would be even worse.
But messing with the follows list in general is a bad fuckup

In most cases of titles being added or removed from lists/follows/library/notification/etc. it's either the user did not understand how some functionality of the site works or the user has multiple accounts.
The remainder are either unknown because the user never comes back after the compliant or there is no evidence to support the claim of manipulation.

Example: user forgets to uncheck the show in follows/notifications when changing reading status, usually from reading to dropped.

I can't really provide any evidence since I've already deleted both mangas from my list but it is really impossible to have added those mangas to it. The first one I was initially in doubt since it was something I might have read/added to the list but since there were only 3 chapters and all of them were posted 8 hours before I noticed the issue it would be impossible to add it since I hadn't accessed the site in the last 8 hours. The second case, of tokyo revengers was also impossible since I've never read the manga or interacted with the page or any link to it on this site. I also do not have any other accounts nor use the site logged out.

The other issue here is that I don't think there's any way to actually prove someone didn't add, accidentally or otherwise, a manga to his or her list. In my case, if something else shows up on the list, at most I could print it and post here but it wouldn't really prove anything other than that said manga is or was on the list.
