3rd Party Apps Spying on You Across Leagues in Sleeper

I recently found a site that tracks and displays user activity across Sleeper leagues and it feels unethical and akin to cheating search sleeperstalker if you want to see it on google

From what I can tell, anyone can look up a Sleeper username and monitor things like:

  1. League activity
  2. Roster moves
  3. Trades
  4. Lineup changes
  5. Timestamps/activity patterns
  6. Multi-league participation

Even if all of this technically comes from public API data, aggregating it into a stalking/tracking tool changes the nature of the information entirely.

A lot of users probably don’t realize their activity across all leagues can be centralized and monitored this easily by strangers, league rivals, coworkers, exes, etc

This feels especially concerning because:

  1. There’s no obvious opt-out
  2. Unfair advantage to the people using it
  3. Its weird

I’m not saying the developer had malicious intent, but I do think Sleeper should look into:

  1. Better privacy controls
  2. Activity visibility settings
  3. API rate limiting or access restrictions
  4. Opt-out options for third-party tracking tools

At minimum, users should know this exists and have some control over how visible their cross-league activity is.

Curious what others think. Am I overreacting or is this legitimately invasive?
