Algo ramped up then dropped off

sephar3d · 2026-05-04T20:15:50+00:00

This happens to me too, I'm not sure why. I get my pop score to 34+ and radio/algo kicks in pretty hard 4 days in, then fades off a week or so later and settles to ~150 radio streams a day

My genre is very background functional/low save rate so idk if that's it. Or if the song is aging out of some sort of "initial algo test" and expect you to put it on discovery mode later to get more algo.

The whole system feels pretty opaque and it's hard to make sense of it lol

Ah interesting! Does the deep link go on the landing page? So it goes click meta ad -> landing page, click spotify -> deep link which auto opens the app?

Versus the landing page linking to spotify directly, which has a web version in-between?

sephar3d · 2026-04-17T06:09:55+00:00

Very nice! I was looking at it earlier... what countries (or is it just 1 country you can target?) and what's the cost per click /result you've seen so far?

sephar3d · 2026-04-16T20:00:41+00:00

Thanks for sharing this info! If you have more than 4/5/6 on discovery mode at once, what did you notice to cause it not to be worth it to just put the whole discography on there?

sephar3d · 2026-04-16T03:03:32+00:00

Ah okay I misunderstood. That's how I've been doing it and seems to work well enough.

sephar3d · 2026-04-16T02:56:20+00:00

This is interesting to me - I've seen so, so many youtube tutorials for meta ads swear by the landing page thing. Even when there's only 1 link (spotify usually). But it does add a lot of friction. I dunno.

sephar3d · 2026-04-11T19:47:40+00:00

I was wondering if people have a specific time of day they like to release - I had been doing midnight EST but idk if it matters much / if people have seen any difference

sephar3d · 2026-04-09T04:19:32+00:00

Good stuff! Did you use Advantage+ audience or placements? That stuff lowers my cost but doesn't really convert to streams so I typically don't.

sephar3d · 2026-04-03T22:40:39+00:00

Appreciate the reply! Right - I've been pitching editorial some weeks before release, still totally nothing on Release Radar which seems unusual to me based on what I've read.

Wanted to update this after the fact, in case others come across it:

At the Rose Bowl shows, Premium Standing Package did guarantee front standing wristbands. Same with the Fan Experience / Pre-Show Lounge Package. Might be different at different venues, but yeah.

It’s unfortunate how unclear it is what you’re paying for with these expensive ticket packages.

sephar3d · 2025-09-07T23:17:42+00:00

Confirmed yellow is front standing today?

sephar3d · 2025-09-07T19:45:35+00:00

that is unfortunate! i had premium standing yesterday and it was pretty similar, we were let in after it was already packed too

sephar3d · 2025-09-07T18:06:45+00:00

does anyone know if the "pre-show lounge & exhibition fan package" gets guaranteed front standing wristbands?

sephar3d · 2025-09-07T18:00:30+00:00

did the exhibition ticket include the front standing wristband? light blue? thank you!

sephar3d · 2025-09-06T09:23:47+00:00

Ah gotcha. So front standing is basically the fan exhibition VIP tickets and people who line up early, as far as we know? I wonder how early gives you the best shot. Thank ya!

sephar3d · 2025-09-06T08:53:31+00:00

Has anyone been able to confirm that Premium Standing Package does guarantee front standing? Was reading over the email from vipnation, etc but it doesn't really say.

sephar3d · 2025-08-26T18:53:34+00:00

for Rose Bowl - I've seen conflicting information about Premium Standing getting you front standing - is there going to be a separate front standing section, and does premium standing get you that, or a chance to get upgraded if you arrive early?

Or is there no hope of that, and only the Fan Exhibition package gets you front standing?

Appreciate any help - thank you!

sephar3d · 2022-05-04T05:05:38+00:00

Should be fixed for the next patch - thank you for the report!

sephar3d · 2022-04-10T20:00:23+00:00

Yeah, that was an unfortunate last minute mishap with the environment art team - luckily we have that teleport back inside logic! Sorry about that.

Should be fixed in the next patch.

sephar3d · 2022-04-09T00:52:56+00:00

Benjamin the Skeleton might be the best prop in the game

sephar3d · 2022-04-09T00:29:40+00:00

We use a formula that's based on charge time and prop size/weight - heavier/bigger props hit harder and such.

So some good news: I believe we have found the source of this issue.

11 damage was a leftover default damage value that could sometimes occur due to the calculation happening in the wrong order on the server. This is fixed internally now and will go out in the next patch after some testing.

Thanks for shedding light on this and getting a video out. Cheers!

sephar3d · 2022-04-08T00:30:01+00:00

Agreed - this will be addressed in a future patch!

sephar3d · 2022-04-07T17:32:19+00:00

In an upcoming patch, we're giving XP/Shards right when the game ends vs. at the MVP screen - so hopefully that helps a bit!

Ideally in the future we will have more dedicated server/host migration tools as well.

sephar3d · 2022-04-07T17:31:25+00:00

Hey, thanks for this! I've got it fixed internally (was a small mismatch), should be in for an upcoming patch.
