Spotify doesn’t necessarily reveal much information about why your playlist was removed, only that it was removed and that you can appeal.

So what do you do when the attackers come for you?Īt the bottom of the removal email, you’ll notice they say “if this notice is an error to respond back to the email within 5 business days to appeal”. Many playlist curators and average Spotify users experience, voicing their frustrations on & Reddit. This is often a tactic used by shady “playlist curators” when they have a similar title to yours in an attempt for their playlist to rank higher than yours in Spotify search results. If you’re using royalty-free images for your playlist cover, your playlist likely didn’t get removed for violating any copyright guidelines. This notice, however, means that someone has flagged your playlist as violating Spotify’s Profile and playlist user image guidelines. This vague subject line often leads to panic as, at first glance, it may sound like Spotify has removed your entire user account. A curator reaches out because they receive a “Notice of removal of your edited content” email from Spotify. As the Curator Community Manager at Playlist Push, I see this happen all the time.
