This is a link post No idea if this will help anyone I made this!
There are some musicians on this site and no doubt you're wondering about how to promote your music. I paid for some Spotify playlist placements to see if it's worth it.

tl;dr - it isn't. Although you can pay to get on playlists you'll find that the extra streams don't translate through to followers.

But you probably knew that anyway.

I paid for Spotify playlist placements so you don’t have to

This is a normal post I don't use spotify (i prefer to get my music the old fashioned way: piratebay)
but isn't there an element where they've got to, you know, like your songs, in order to want to follow you?

This is a normal post I've not used spotify much (I hate it)
one of the main reasons being the forced media and protection rackety bullshit.

Say I want to listen to some proper music, if their response is "well okay but you have to listen to this loudness war criminal music too" then I am going to resent that (and build all kinds of negative associations around that).

This is a normal post I'd give 'loudness war criminal music' a go.

This is a normal post I'm actually part of an experiment by a band currently trying to manipulate the algorithm
It's going okay, but not sure the results are conclusive yet. We're in the 3rd week so far.

This is a normal post my feeling is the music industry is a lot fairer now
It used to be that if you were unlucky and got shyster manager or label, you'd get ripped off and end up with nothing. with these new platforms like spotify, now all artists are getting ripped off together

This is a normal post Trufax
It's definitely geared towards popular music, rather than watch you actually like to listen to. It pays it "safe" with suggestions, which keeps the top earners at the top. I would imagine there's still an element of pay to play.
