Hey, since about a week or two I get likes on my WordPress site. Never on the newest post but always a random older one.
The likes are from the same user. But I can see that the actual post hasn't been read.
Before that started I'd get a lot of views from china without any interaction. When the aforementioned user started liking random posts the visits from china stopped.
Normally if I get a like on a post, WordPress will give you the link to the user's page and some of their interesting posts. This user apparently only has the "tell something about yourself (example post")and I didn't click the link. Seems suspicious.
Especially since it's never the new posts.

Not really a question I guess 😅

Could be a bot. They can sometimes take actions while crawling without necessarily registering as a "view" or "user".

Would also explain it only getting to the older articles (the ones that are being slowly crawled).
