IMPORTANT: Spotify Playlist Policy - PLEASE READ

Hey AMP Family!

First I want to say - the love and initiative behind the playlist idea that was shared in the community by

@Matthew Guidry

is exactly the kind of energy that makes this space special. The intention was pure and I appreciate that deeply.

Tagging everyone who expressed interest or participated in the post so you all see this directly:

Now, I have to be transparent with you all about why community-shared Spotify playlists are not something I can approve or allow inside the AMP community. This is not about shutting anyone down. This is about protecting every single artist in this room.

Here is what you need to know:

⚠️ THE RISKS OF SHARED COMMUNITY PLAYLISTS ON SPOTIFY

• Spotify actively monitors playlist activity for unusual streaming patterns. When multiple people save and stream the same playlist at the same time, it can trigger their algorithm to flag the songs on that playlist.

• If even one person runs a streaming campaign, uses a bot service, or puts songs on repeat for extended periods, every artist on that playlist can be affected - including potential removal of streams, loss of royalties, or worse, Spotify flagging your artist profile.

• As the founder of this community I have no visibility into who adds themselves to the playlist, who shares it outside of AMP, or how it is being used. Once it is out there I cannot control it and I cannot protect you from it.

• I have personally seen this go wrong for artists before. The excitement is real but so is the damage it can cause to an artist's catalog and streaming data.

I will not allow anything inside this community that puts your music, your streams, your royalties, or your Spotify standing at risk. Not on my watch. ❌

✅ HERE IS WHAT WE CAN DO INSTEAD

——————————————

• Drop your Spotify links in the comments of this post. Share your top songs and let the community discover your music organically.

• Anyone who genuinely connects with a song can add it to their OWN personal playlist. That is natural, organic activity that Spotify loves and rewards.

• Share or add each other's music on your own social platforms, stories, and TikToks. Real shares from real people is the most powerful promotion you can do.

• Stream each other's music individually and intentionally. Play a song because you love it, not because you feel obligated. That is the kind of streaming that builds real numbers.

The goal is the same - we grow together. We just do it in a way that protects everyone in this room.

Drop your Spotify links below and let's get to supporting each other the right way. 🎵🔥❤️
