Expensive Suno Crew,
To begin with, I’d like to increase my appreciation.
Suno stands out because the main AI music platform, and I actually admire the innovation and creativity it permits.
—
I’m writing with a number of ideas, questions, and solutions—primarily about how playlists are curated on the platform.
I’ve seen that the identical customers and songs seem continuously in featured playlists.
This made me surprise:
Who’s answerable for creating these playlists, and what standards are utilized in choosing songs?
With so many nice creators on Suno, together with many paying subscribers,
it feels a bit discouraging to see such restricted rotation.
—
At one level,
I discovered myself attempting to have interaction with playlist curators
by liking and commenting on their songs, hoping to be seen.
However over time, that felt a bit unnatural.
I don’t need my presence to depend on chasing consideration—
it will really feel way more significant to be included via
a extra numerous and inclusive system.
Even one characteristic can imply quite a bit.
—
For instance, certainly one of my songs was as soon as featured within the “Better of Suno v4.5” playlist.
I used to be actually honored and grateful.
The influence was unimaginable:
my followers doubled in simply two days,
and the track reached over twenty thousand performs.
I additionally acquired messages from all over the world.
That single second gave me an huge confidence increase—
not simply as a consumer, however as an artist.
—
In reality, I’ve had two of my songs featured within the “Better of Suno v4.5” playlist—
however just for a really restricted time.
The primary was seen for simply twenty-four hours earlier than being eliminated,
and shortly after, a second track of mine was added, additionally for 24 hours.
In complete, my songs have been featured for simply forty-eight hours mixed.
Throughout that brief window,
the first track acquired over eighteen thousand performs,
and the second reached over twelve thousand.
Since then, the mixed complete has solely grown by about one thousand performs within the week that adopted.
That type of drop-off exhibits simply how impactful a playlist characteristic is—
and the way fleeting that publicity will be if not given time to breathe.
—
After being featured, I began receiving messages from others asking for assist—likes, feedback, listens.
I all of a sudden noticed the system from one other facet.
I can solely think about how overwhelming that should be
for playlist curators and influencers on the platform.
I actually do perceive and respect that.
Nevertheless it additionally left me uncertain of how you can be thought of once more,
with out having to push or carry out for consideration.
—
To start with, my engagement with different creators was fully real.
I used to be moved by the tales behind their songs.
There’s one thing deeply human about what folks share via their music on Suno—
it’s typically uncooked, emotional, and deeply private.
I even got here throughout a creator who composed songs with out listening to,
utilizing solely the written lyrics and listener suggestions.
That touched me deeply.
It jogged my memory:
this platform isn’t nearly developments—
it’s about expression and connection.
—
That’s why I care—
not nearly being featured once more myself,
however about seeing every kind of distinctive, unheard voices lifted up.
My very own characteristic impressed me to:
create extra,
purchase additional credit,
and have interaction extra meaningfully with the neighborhood.
However over time, I seen my feedback and interactions began to shift—
I used to be now not simply connecting;
I used to be attempting to be seen once more.
And that made me pause.
—
Yet one more factor I wish to make actually clear.
Proper now, after liking round 10 songs,
I get a message saying: “You’ve reached your like restrict”—and I’ve to pause.
So I do know the system already has the ability and know-how to manage how we work together.
However for my part,
that restrict ought to apply after every track, not after 10.
—
A Suggestion
As an alternative of letting folks rush via and like 10 tracks in a row,
why not gradual it down just a bit?
For instance, after liking one track,
there might be a brief pause—possibly 30 seconds or 1 minute—
earlier than they’ll like one other.
That will encourage folks to really hear first,
take into consideration how the track made them really feel,
after which determine whether or not to love it or not.
That’s what I attempt to do.
However when folks faucet 5 or 10 likes in a number of seconds,
I do know they didn’t hear—
and it creates stress to go return the gesture,
even when it wasn’t actual.
I imagine this sort of change would gently shift the complete tradition of the platform
towards extra considerate, sincere engagement.
And it will make the algorithm smarter and extra human on the similar time.
—
The Tradition of Likes
There’s yet another layer to this I wish to specific clearly:
the like-for-like tradition doesn’t belong on a platform like Suno.
That type of system is sensible for platforms like Instagram, Fb, or Twitter—
the place you may scroll via dozens of photos or posts in a minute.
You possibly can shortly learn a line, look at an image, and know whether or not you wish to prefer it.
The content material is visible and on the spot.
There’s gentle, there’s recognition, there’s a fast response.
—
However Music Isn’t Like That
You possibly can’t determine whether or not you want a track simply by glancing at it.
It’s important to really hear—typically for 2 or three minutes—
to grasp the way it feels and whether or not it resonates with you.
Songs ask for emotional presence.
They carry tales.
They take time.
—
Damaged Rhythm
That’s why the present system—
the place you may like 5 or 10 songs in fast succession
after which wait 30 seconds earlier than doing it once more—
simply doesn’t work.
It encourages folks to skim, like, and transfer on,
with out partaking with the music itself.
If I’ve two hours and I genuinely wish to assist 100 artists,
I nonetheless don’t know if that effort will mirror within the algorithm
in a manner that truly helps me too.
I would increase others—and I wish to—
however I don’t know whether or not something about my visibility improves via that.
—
A Name for Change
We’d like an algorithm that’s truthful—not simply quick.
One which understands:
music just isn’t a scrollable feed.
It’s a deeper expertise.
—
Why I Write This
I suppose what I’m attempting to say is:
I simply wish to attain extra folks.
I even have one thing to say.
My music isn’t only for dancing or clubbing—
although I respect these, too.
It’s about emotion.
It’s about being sincere.
Serving to somebody really feel stronger, much less alone, extra understood.
I do know my music will communicate to folks—
if solely they’d an opportunity to listen to it.
—
With Gratitude
I hope this message is acquired within the spirit it’s meant:
with gratitude, honesty, and perception within the Suno imaginative and prescient.
I respect the chance to be a part of this neighborhood,
and I hope for a future the place visibility and recognition
are extra extensively shared
among the many numerous voices that make Suno so particular.
Heat regards,
Magor
