We would usually say “the ones I spied on”. English is the only language I’ve ever spoken and although it sounds weird to not include the word “on”, I really dont see why its necessary either.
Because “spied for,” and “spied with” are both options.
“I spied them” is a legitimate sentence, but it doesn’t mean covert surveillance in that sentence, only to have seen then, generally through some difficulty.
Genuine question from a non native English speaker here: what’s wrong?

They left out the word “on” and the best that m137 has to contribute to the conversation is someone did a typo.
It’s supposed to be “the ones I spied on for weeks”.
The ones on whom I spied for weeks. 😂
