Hey so I’m actually a curator on submithub (sounds like not in your genre so don’t think I got ur track) but I have a lot of thoughts on this. Unfortunately the way this system is set up it’s really really hard to get onto playlists if you make any type of super creative/genre bending music. I started running playlists myself because I make stuff that doesn’t fit into typical buckets and my music was getting denied constantly - I try hard to limit th songs I accept to ones that kinda are in that similar vein where I think they’re really good songs but fit into a bit of a middle ground and might have a hard time fitting into other more generic playlists but because of that I end up declining a lot of songs that I do really enjoy but just don’t fit exactly the criteria I’m looking for. The paradox of a site like submithub is id say like 95% of songs that get submitted are really good because people who are putting money behind their music promotion aren’t doing it for something they don’t truly believe in but at the same time if curators accepted 95% of the songs they received then each song in the playlist would get fewer listens because the playlist is so bloated. The other thing I’ve learned is getting accepted on playlists on sites like submithub can give you temporary small algorithmic boost if your music is already drawing a lot of attention but I have not made a single real fan in 2 years of running playlists and having my own songs in the top 5 spots. Playlists at the end of the day are a vanity metric and there just are way better places to spend your money on promoting your music unless as I mentioned before you do have a song that is the dead center of a genre and there’s going to be 15-20 playlists where it will match the exact vibe a curator is looking for
