I can't begin to explain how livid i feel about @spotify slashing my followers almost in half! Numbers is what the industry uses to measure up artists' success. I have been working really hard to engage with my audience, organically growing a fanbase. I had 43 followers 2 weeks ago. Then following my birthday, when i asked followers on social media to kindly stream one of my songs as a birthday present and follow me if they wished, my followers' count on Spotify jumped to 78 and, 2 days ago to 81 but, yesterday, it shockingly dropped to 57! I had over 400 monthly listeners a few days ago, and that has now dropped below 300, and this 'coincidentally' has happened after I submitted my survey results with a couple of constructive criticisms/suggestions! I have complained and now my complain is being escalated. However, after complaining, my streams went down from 200 (they had been constantly high for weeks) to 19! They have no right to touch my followers. People should be able to go if/when they wish to depart but it shouldn't be down to Spotify to do this. It's really SO wrong. Has this happened to any of you?
