mal Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 3 hours ago, FolkLover1989 said: So for past 2 days, random songs are rising on Spotfiy by a lot and some songs are losing a lot of streams. In the above pic , user is playing a Drake song but his autoplay is not personalized anymore. Nonsense is being autoplayed. Many other songs are also getting random rise and re enters on chart with this. Basically now your recommendation is not personalized fully like it was before. Labels payola will affect streams just like Youtube. beyoncé better do this when alien superstar becomes a single Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shallow randomly got a huge update and it's not like that song's currently getting payola'd. I don't think it's random. Shallow was covered on Emily in Paris like 2 weeks ago and has been gaining since then. It didn't go viral but the effect will last long since the show is quite popular.

BGKC Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Spotify has always been infested with stream farms and bots. They’re ad-driven service focused on the numbers, not the music. I’m so glad I use Apple MUSIC, the premium service that cares about integrity, gives you genuine recommendations based on your personal tastes, and cares about audio quality standards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It suddenly went up to top 10 for one day then fell off after that was due to a TikTok trend (3rd of December) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krustysalt Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 (edited) This is so disgusting. Until I found you completely fell while it's charting in other platforms but Nonsense is nowhere to be found on other streaming charts and itunes but suddenly rises +150 spots on spotify? they make the manipulation too obvious Edited January 13, 2023 by krustysalt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blade Runner Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 I don't think this is new????? It's normal autoplaylisting. YT is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moloko Plus Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Is this why Shygirl’s “Wildfire” is playing after every single song I listen to? I was wondering which Spotify executive she gave a favor to for this auto play mess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're talking about the last 2 days but nice try 3 hours ago, Bonicap said: For example, yesterday in Spain Shakira's song did crazy numbers. Well, this was the song that came right after "randomly" to most people. Autoplay existed before, but we never saw this kind of random spikes, so if this is not chart manipulation you tell me. Sometimes it'll benefit a certain artist and other times another one, so I predict we will have tears and complains going in different directions in the future. Idk why some are acting so purposely obtuse about this. There's clearly something that changed. Users here can run to gang up on anyone but when it comes to corporations they just say "Its always been like that there's no change!" or "it's just how it is!!11" and take it?

Gaia Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 It’s always been random for me? I always get Taylor songs from Midnights put as “suggestions” and auto play next songs despite not a single song on my playlist being her. Same with Blackpink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaynsus Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Weird, my autoplay is usually full of songs I've already played a lot. I never had random songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brodie Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 This is foul Makes sense that Spotify would compromise user experience to try and find new revenue sources though. They can’t rely as much on ad revenue like radio can, and Apple doesn’t need Apple Music to be profitable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doogle Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 I was listening to Miley’s new song and every time it ended Sabrina Carpenter (whom I have never listened to in my life) would come blasting on after each listen Its the same as ever but they’ve definitely changed it slightly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
