Huge spike in followers after post?

I just noticed something very strange happen. After my most recent post, I had a huge spike in followers! 50+ people followed me in just the first 2 minutes. Are that many people following the new posts page, or did someone program bots to automatically follow new posters? I received 0 upvotes on the post in the same time period which makes me question this occurrence even more. Please let me know what your thought is on this in the comments! :)
