Anyone else getting sudden friend requests from authors?

I have gotten 2 friend requests, from authors, just this month. I ignore them. I am an Admin in my Fantasy group, so you may be right about their target
I haven’t had any requests and I am not an admin - correlation starting to firm up? …
Two authors are following me. I had read and liked both of their books. One had commented on my review of her book. They are not strangers, picking me out in a random way.
I have experienced the same thing - and rejected for same reason. I too am admin in a couple of small groups.
I am an admin in 3 groups, but I haven't received any.
I might have received some in the past, but not recently.
Thanks eveyone for chiming in! I was just curious. It's not like we have one of the top 10 groups in terms of size or something, so it seemed weird, but perhaps it's just coincidental. I am active on some Facebook book groups and maybe that's driving the extra requests.
Admins, thanks for your service. Your hard work and filtering annoyances has really enhanced my reading experience. I appreciate all of you!
They probably all read the same marketing blog or have the same person working for them.I had more friend requests than usual this month, but I didn't get far enough to know if they were authors. They didn't answer the question that pops up with the request, and also had 1000+ friends.
I have a few authors on my list but one is a friend from uni and all have been there several years not added recently.I usually don't add people unless they are in this group or known to me irl.
My policy is I don't accept friend requests from people who have more friends than they do books on their shelves . . .so I looked at each of these people who had WAY more friends than books, and rejected all three. But am wondering if they are just targeting all admins.
