Controversy[edit]
FurryMate has fallen under heavy scrutiny and backlash for its use of fake accounts bots[citation needed] to send messages to their members to entice them into upgrading to paid accounts.[clarify][citation needed]
These bots messages look legit,[citation needed] informing members that someone wants to speak to them,[citation needed] and that they should subscribe to the service to be able to read their messages.[3][4]
