Removing playlists from my profile has caused them to be hidden in 'Discovered On' forever.

Last week, I removed my playlists from my profile BUT kept them Public. However, I then realized that my playlists not only disappeared from my profile but also from artists' 'Discovered on' sections. Is it how this function supposed to work (public for search and private for profile and 'Discovered on' section)?

Hi @kingf,

Thanks for posting in the Spotify Community, and welcome!

Since your playlists didn’t re-appear in the “Discovered on” sections of artist profiles when you re-added them to your Spotify profile, it’s most likely that your playlists are less popular than before. 

It’s also worth mentioning that the number of playlists that appear in “Discovered on” is limited, and the algorithm decides based on multiple factors which playlists show up there. As this is an automatic process, I’m afraid that Spotify can’t manually put your playlists back there.

Let me know if you have any other questions, and have a good day!
