**Current ListenBrainz server issues/high load:** https://blog.metabrainz.org/2026/06/30/current-listenbrainz-server-issues-high-load/
We have been copping a lot of flak as a result of this blog post, so it's important to clarify: We have no problem with BTS fans, and we've always had plenty on *brainz 🥰
The issue is a small minority that started doing things like submitting a song listen every few seconds, across many accounts at once, which has impacted our servers. If you're not doing that... welcome to LB!
