Well, my understanding is that one of the primary goals of Apple Music is to provide human-curated playlists in contrast to the algorithmic playlists offered by servies like Pandora and Spotify (in addition to the Beats 1 stuff). These playlists aren't listed under the names of the individual curators, nor is there a way for new curators to become part of the system. It's all by Apple. So no, not "gatekeeper", but maybe "tastemaker".
