Anyone else having a major problem with Spotify bots?
As the title suggests, I’m having a major problem with being added to bot playlists.
This started a few months ago at the start of my release plan, disappeared for a while, then has come back with a vengeance over the last few days.
Over the last month or so I’ve had some radio algo pushes and got up to 10k or so monthly listeners (all organic as far as I can tell).
The first time I got added, the next day I could see the bot list in my Spotify for artists.
Yesterday my ‘currently listening’ counter went from its normal average of 3/4 at a time to 50 at any one time, and then back down! At first I thought it might be a radio push, but it’s definitely not.
Weirdly, the numbers for yesterday show only a small spike on one particular track (that also recieved discovery weekly for the first time, which is weird because it isn’t that popular in comparison to my other tracks).
And also no bot playlists are listed this time, whereas they were the first time. So I can’t even report it.
Anyone else having the same problem?
