  We are receiving a ton of follows/comments from accounts that appear to be “non-existent” when we click on them. Ex: https://en.wordpress.com/typo/?subdomain=howtonotlife17.

  This is making it hard for us to track our actual impressions and following. Is anyone else having this issue?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  This is an issue we have no control over.

  So are you saying this is a bug? This seems like a large spam issue.

  No. I am saying that anyone with internet access can click in and there’s nothing we can do to stop that.

  In this case https://en.wordpress.com/typo/?subdomain=howtonotlife17 the blogger has registered a username account https://en.forums.wordpress.com/profile/howtonotlife17 but has not registered the matching blog which is reserved for their future registration and use.
