Extremely Disappointed with Playlist System and Fake Engagement

Feedback

The majority of playlists here have fake followers and no real listeners — and the platform clearly supports this. I noticed that from my account, artists and playlists are being added automatically without my consent.

After checking, I found that 90% of the playlists have fewer than 10 real monthly listeners, yet my submissions were still rejected or left unanswered.

This isn’t “promotion.” This is deception. I spent money on both regular and premium submissions and got absolutely no real exposure. Deeply disappointed with the service.

    Hi Denis,

    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.

    Regarding artificial activity on the platform, we condone and ban users who do not follow Spotify’s and our policies. Making regular clean-ups on the platform to prevent users from submitting.

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

    All the best,
    DP Team
