Everything is still controlled. Social media platforms control the algorithms, which means you have to run ads, which means it's play to play. According to the data, Spotify owns about 90% of the Top 10K Playlist on the platform, which means you have to pay to play, and you may get a TEMPORARY placement, while artist who are signed to labels get permanent placements and run up millions of listeners/fans. To the artist, build your own website, run ads to/from your favorite platform(s), and get your fans to your website. Quit relying on these goofy platforms and industry "experts", you won't win, so carve your own lane on your own platform.
