Never bothered with it, does not seem worth the time & effort to me...YMMV

" As of January 2019, Spotify reports that it pays out between $0.00331 and $0.00437 per stream to rights holders."

To put it in perspective...My best earning Library cue do date = approx $750 in PRO royalties...so to earn that at the upper rate on Spotify would take 171,624 streams

How many would you get if you could get onto said playlists ? Some of my music is on Spotify because the Library put it there but not even enough streams to register after several years.

What Dolphin said, and for the same reason. If anything, I promote Bandcamp.

Putting out music on Spotify IS promotion. To put much effort into promoting promotion makes little sense. Just write, release, submit, forget, repeat :D
Ceo of my own life

Bandcamp is the only outlet I've found that seems to give a shit about artists. I put music there and on my website.

People are telling me on Twitter they are following me on Bandcamp but they don't show up in my Followers. Tech issue meaning people don't actually see your content which defeats the purpose of the app.

need to admonish a resource
admonish : warn or reprimand someone firmly

So Danny is reprimanding the very spam he's hawking? :?

I have had a very unpleasant experience with the offers of spotify, they offered me something discreet that did not happen

I once tried Parkbench13. costly and scam.
Plus I nearly got taken-down by the distributor.

Not to be recommended....
