The Complexity of Artificial Spotify Streams
It’s deeply concerning that anyone could add any artist’s music to a bot-driven Spotify playlist, which could result in that artist’s music being removed. Spotify is trying to crack down on fraudulent streams and paid campaigns that offer guaranteed streams and playlist placements, but what if it’s not the artist’s fault? What if someone just wants to mess with an artist’s music? What if a song is added to a fake-streaming playlist without the artist’s participation or involvement? I am curious to know if any other artists in my circle have experienced this issue.
