YES! This is a MUCH needed feature, I'm sick of writing Spotify everytime one of my songs gets added to one of those "playlists" A report button or something would be very useful.

This should’ve been implemented years ago. Now is the time

Commenting simply to express support for this feature. My song was removed by my distributor today due to Spotify identifying fraudulent streams which, wouldn't ya know it, came from some random playlist run by scammers. Words cannot describe how discouraging it is: first, that this happened through no fault of my own, and second, getting an interminable runaround from both Spotify support and Distrokid. After putting hundreds of ours of work into something and so carefully and thoughtfully promoting it by exclusively legitimate means, getting the rug pulled out from under me by any random stranger with a few pennies to spend on bots is just sickening. Having no recourse is the insult on top of the injury. PLEASE SPOTIFY, TAKE NOTE AND ADD THIS FEATURE. It will save you the administrative headache and save small artists from a helpless, discouraging situation.

Happened to me as well but luckily DistroKid will allow you to resubmit your song. If you use the same ISRC code as the original release your streams will be restored. However you may wind up on the same booted playlist. If so report it to Spotify. In my case Spotify took down the playlist but the spammer kept putting it back. I had to report him multiple times before the playlist finally disappeared permanently -maybe they banned him.
