    Hi D1rty Duck,

    Thanks for reaching out! I’d be happy to clarify how gates work on DailyPlaylists.

    When you submit your track, some curators may set up a gate. A gate is simply a small action required before your submission is completed. Common examples include:

    Following the curator or their playlist
    Saving the track on Spotify
    Other simple engagement actions
    These gates help curators grow their playlists and ensure that artists engaging with them are genuine listeners.

    A few important points to keep in mind:
    Not all playlists have gates: it depends on the curator’s choice.
    Gates are optional for artists: you decide whether you want to complete the action and submit.
    They don’t affect your credits: you still control how and where you submit.

    We’ve put these systems in place to make the process fair for both artists and curators.

    If after this you want to delete the account, please reply to this email with your email address again.

    Let me know if you still have questions, I’ll be glad to help.



    All the best,
