My playlist was marked as botted
If your playlist was incorrectly flagged as botted, we can review your case manually. Our team needs specific evidence to verify legitimate growth.
What evidence helps your case
Provide as much of the following as possible:
Spotify for Artists analytics: Screenshots showing organic follower growth patterns, listener demographics, and engagement metrics
Promotion proof: Links to social media posts, collaborations, influencer partnerships, or paid advertising campaigns that drove traffic
Curation activity: Evidence of consistent updates, community engagement, or playlist management over time
External traffic sources: Instagram followers, newsletter subscribers, website analytics, or other channels directing listeners to your playlist
Growth spike context: Specific dates and explanations for any unusual follower increases (e.g., viral post, feature, campaign launch)
The more documentation you provide, the faster we can resolve your case. Include specific dates tied to growth events.
