Curators could do better
This is a great initiative that could really help indie artists like myself to grow if only extra measures are put in place to distinguish between “dead playlists” and inactive curators from the platform. Yes I’ve landed a couple of placements but 99% of these playlists are not active playlists (doesn’t have active listeners) and this is so bad. There are a lot of FAKE curators on the platform. And also, I suggest there should be a specific criteria for curators to follow because I’ve noticed most the curators usually place your tracks at the bottom of the playlist and there’s no rotation which is really really bad.

Hi Tema, Thank you so much for the thoughtful feedback, this is exactly the kind of honest input we want to keep getting better! Your concerns about playlist quality and how placements actually serve artists are ones we take seriously and are actively working on. We do regular network-wide quality reviews and proactively remove playlists that don't meet our integrity standards, and we're always building toward giving artists more visibility into what they're getting from each placement. There's more to do, and your input genuinely helps shape where we focus next. We've reached out to you directly to look into your specific placements and see what we can do to make things better, for you and all other artists who check out our platform! Thanks again, Tema, the platform is stronger because artists like you push us to keep improving. - The Playlist Panda Team 🐼🎶
