Spotify for artists


X-53mph

Does anyone on here have some experience of using the Spotify for Artists page?

I get very low numbers for listeners. I never really thought much of it. Just brushed it's off. However, I've recently been pushing my music to radio stations and on Twitter. And I KNOW I'm on playlists on Spotify (I have links to them). So why does Spotify for Artists not show these playlists? 

I've always doubted the transparency of Spotify. I'm now starting to think it's all bullshit. 

Anyone know how it works?

IIRC you need at least2 listeners for the playlist to show.
 If you're on the app it's 25 listeners.

So basically, Spotify won't tell you you're on a playlist (that you might not even know about) until it gets 25 listens? That seems rather shady.  Why not?  It's not like they have to cover admin costs to do it. It's all automated.  What is the points of holding back stats?

On the app, if I look back in time it shows me 4 of 17 playlists. that's 13 playlists I dont know about.

Do all the other streaming services operate this way?

Deezer, for example? I've had music on Deezer for years and have the grand total of zero plays. Is that because no one has listened or because I haven't reached a threshold?
