About r/spotify
In its own words:
This subreddit is mainly for sharing Spotify playlists. You must have a combined karma of 40 to make a post, and your reddit account must be at least 30 days old; this is to prevent spam and is strictly enforced. We're not a support community, and we encourage users to use official support channels for most issues. Posts that are not playlists, ask for support, are low effort, duplicate topics, may be removed.
