Ask HN: Am I the only one being spammed by Spotify multicasts?

Before I start doing more research I wanted to ask a quick question here. I've been getting pinged continuously by spotify for months(from wireshark logs). I've never installed spotify and will never install spotify. Any computer or device on this network receives this same traffic constantly.

I primarily use starlink for home internet. I can swap IPs to many different ranges but the inbound traffic persists.

I just wanted to see of anyone else is experiencing this, and maybe get some guesses as to... why. (like please it's driving me nuts)



is it literal ping (icmp echo) or what? havent seen it, but ur network parameters might put you on externally routable ip or ipv6 or so (no NAT). cant capture on my modem here.

any mode traffic parameters to share so people clould verify? (intervals between probes fixed? packet sizes/frequencies?)
