Spotify Editorial Playlists -- How are Dynamic Changes Determined?

SoundGuySays — Sun, 13 Nov 2022 13:57:50 GMT

I recently came across the Spotify-curated playlist titled 'Thrifted'. I started listening through this playlist quite a bit and became familiar with the track listing.

At one point, I attempted to queue up a song I knew to be included in this playlist, but upon manually scrolling through the playlist, discovered that the song had been removed. A few days later, that same song had reappeared on the playlist. Then, a few days after that, the song had been removed again. I've come to realize that there are a handful of tracks on this playlist that get dynamically phased in and out, while other tracks are static and are always present.

My questions are -- How are these editorial playlists maintained? What causes some tracks to come and go? Is there a way to influence the editor(s) of the playlist to keep certain tracks on the playlist?

Any insight would be appreciated!

P.S. -- The track in question is 'Breadcrumb Trail' by Slint. I had actually never listened to Slint before discovering them through the Thrifted playlist. I subsequently fell in love with the album on which Breadcrumb Trail appears, and now I'm woeful the track is no longer on the Thrifted playlist.
