GMW_Records Last week when I submitted my collab song to Playlists, I have got three notifications via email that song has been submitted to three Playlists by GMW_Records. But when I look through the playlists, our song was only in the one of them. I have written an email to GMW_Records to express gratitude for submission and aked wether it was a mistake on their end? They expressed they take a fee for submission of the songs into their Playlists. And after few days they threw out our song from the one Playlist as well. Curators take our credits when they submit songs, but the very next moment they throw them away. Do you think it is fair and honest to do it on behalf of your Daily Playlist site? I am very disappointed in such curators behavior. I am on a free tier and rate songs here each day to get those credits to promote my music. I am small and honest musician and I will always support the same type of artists. For songwriter-singer who does everything by myself, it seems not ethical at least.
Thank you for reaching out and flagging this! We want to clarify that any abuse of the gate system is against our policies, and we take this matter seriously. When we received such reports, we marked the curator and informed them of the issue so they could revert the submission or explain why they removed the track from the playlist. Plus the payola violation.
If we receive 3 gate abuse claims, we would ban the user indefinitely. Please share the submission approval email, playlist link, your Spotify user link and the track you submitted, so we can proceed with this.
