WHY DISCOVERED ON MATTERS
A big follower count doesn't mean a playlist drives real listeners. Spotify's Discovered On section shows which playlists are actually bringing an artist new fans, and PlaylistVet uses that data to score playlists, so you spend your pitches on curators whose playlists move the needle. Curators decide what they add, so no tool can guarantee a placement: keep pitches relevant and personal.
