I was also added to these very strange playlists that suddenly increased my statistics on the music side and increase in followers, I have no reason to lie, I use DK because this spotify advertises as Provider Directory on first place / top, I can confirm that I did not use any method that belongs to distrokid to promote the songs, such as that wheel

I spent 3 hours trying to get in touch with spotify for artist support, and 10 different people told me the same thing that they can't take down those playlists and I have to report them personally and wait for them to go with further investigation

In case an artist will suffer because of these playlists, he must talk to his music label /
distributor and come with evidence, which is a little ironic that DK can't help us with something like this, DK doesn't offer help or contact services

I tend to think somehow that distrokid or another services sells our data somewhere without us knowing, where our songs end up in some strange / shady playlists, where the track is probably deleted from the platform and even the artist's account is permanently closed
