In its original state, it was an awesome way to discover new music. It's now just another conglomerate owned service with a fuct with algorithm designed to push what they want towards you.
Spotify is fucky.
About a week ago I was contacted through our band email. Guy says he can place us on ANY editorial playlist I choose- and that he would do that for a day or two to prove he can do it. Says he's "an insider".
So basically pay to play. You can get in front of MILLIONS of people through an editorial playlist.
I told him to fuck off.
