As a paying Premium subscriber, I invest in your platform with the sole expectation of an unrestricted user experience. My account is entirely human-operated. Yet, your system operates under the insulting assumption that dedicated listening habits should be unfairly flagged, filtered, or penalised?!!!
WE ARE TIRED!
Let is be clear: your current algorithmic filters ONLY penalise genuine human dedication. It is exhausting to watch a platform profit off the financial backing of passionate fans while actively working day and night to diminish the success of the artists we support. The over-filtering of global icons like BTS is a blatant example of a system that feels rigged against organic, massive fan engagement to protect corporate interests and industry gatekeeping.
If Spotify cannot distinguish between a malicious bot farm and the unmatched, passionate drive of real, paying consumers, then your system is fundamentally broken. Flagging legitimate user behavior undermines the very value of the subscription I pay for.
We are fed up with your arbitrary interference. I expect the service I pay for to function without restriction, and I expect every single stream from my premium account to be counted fairly.
PERIOD.
We’re looking at more signals besides streams like shares and other Spotify activity to help identify real fans (plus we can tell when someone is “sleep streaming” – and those users will be filtered out).
