Dishonest addition to a playlist.

Feature Request

I've recently noticed this bad trend of deception among playlist curators. Dear curators, if you've chosen a track and decided to add it to your playlist, do it honestly. What happens is you add it, get me to follow your playlist and your artist profile, and then immediately remove the track from the playlist. I understand you want more followers. But also understand the musicians who offer their track — they also want to get into a playlist and find their listeners. Let's be honest with each other; mutual help moves us toward development and getting what we want.

I can share links to the people who are acting dishonestly. But I think I'll hold off for now. I'm hoping for reasonableness and reciprocity. Please add the tracks if you've decided to.

    That happened the same with me. I submitted a song with 2 different playlists; they added me one day and took it the next day. The plataform should do it something about it.

      I agree. This should be paid attention to and regulated. Make a minimum of being in a playlist or keep a curator rating. There should be reciprocity and benefit to both sides.

    Hi Oleg,

    I understand your frustration regarding curators accepting songs and then removing them from playlists. With Standard Submissions, curators have flexibility, meaning while many tracks remain for a good duration, some playlists are updated more frequently. This is why standard submissions do not guarantee placement or consistent sharing. Also, please note that if a submission isn't answered within 21 days, it automatically expires and is marked as declined.

    We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention, as your feedback is valuable in helping us improve. If you have specific examples of curators who consistently fail to engage as expected, please share them so we can investigate further.

    All the best,
    DP Team

      I understand it. But there is one thing, But ... the track was accepted and immediately deleted, not after some time set by the curator. I think this is cheating. I am automatically subscribed to this playlist and the artist, but you see, I did not receive anything in return for this, my track was not placed in the playlist, but I became subscribed to it. I know that the time is limited for my presence in the playlist and there are no complaints about this. It is a pity that this happens and any desire to contact such curators disappears.
