That might be explained as guarding their information, yet I still have trouble believing that they are unable to distinguish two artists with the same name from each other. Each week, my Release Radar playlist is basically invaded by 0 listener rappers who "feat" defunct 70s rock bands who do not manage their artist pages... Response from Spotify: please report them individually, from the desktop app.
- sbarre 6y agoThat's some interesting product hacking in a way. I've run into artist naming collisions enough to know it's a thing but I've never seen anyone (ab)use it intentionally.. Neat, but still annoying I'm sure. =)
- thejoeflow 6y agothis. They don't even do an exact string match of the artist name, the reason why I can't fathom. I could make a new artist account named "drake" (lowercase d) today and probably show up in a million Release Radar playlists by next week.
