    Sarah Perez, writing at TechCrunch:

    Spotify announced today it will begin to test a new service that gives artists more of a say in how their music is discovered on the Spotify platform. At launch, the service will allow artists and labels to identify music that’s a priority to them, and Spotify will then add a signal to help the music get surfaced by its personalization algorithms.

    While the new service is not a paid promotion and requires no upfront budget on artists’ or labels’ part, Spotify says that the artists, labels and rights holders will agree to be paid a “promotional recording royalty rate” for streams where the company provides the service.

    So assuming that this weekend...

    Fuuuuuuuck this.

    It also explains why it's so frustrating to permanently remove an artist from being played on my account. Maybe I'm just blind to it, but I can only get an artist blocked on mobile version, not desktop. I would assume this is on purpose.

    Why do they have to keep doing shitty things. I use both Apple Music and Spotify and there’s so much that Spotify just beats AM at but they make me want to go all in on AM.

    They should let artists all have access to our artist radio station and pick artists we want as our Listeners Also Like spot. Its a shame how large scale you have to be for a Artist radio station.
