Why did Spotify delete my Community Idea all of a sudden?

[Roachforlife]

I posted this a year ago and keep getting emails of people liking it (as recently as Oct 8 2023). Now when I go into my profile it doesnt show and the link from the email does not work. I was not given any notice and this just looks back to delete my Idea

Hey @Roachforlife,

Thanks for coming to the Community and for inquiring about the status of your idea.

The Spotify Community has a process in place to keep the ideas that are visible on the forum recent and increase their chances of getting spotted by reducing the overall amount of posts in the section.

Ideas that haven't been getting enough votes and have been online for a long time are, unfortunately, no longer available.

If you'd like to repost your idea, you're free to do so! 🙂

What is considered a long time and a lot of likes? The post originated 6months ago and had around 100 likes. I guess I am just disappointed that if others were interested they no longer have visibility, and creating this over again is effectively resetting the counter. Honestly, feels like a way for Spotify to ensure a particular Idea never happens and stinks

You can check out the following article for some more info on this: https://community.spotify.com/t5/FAQs/Idea-Exchange-Guidelines-Why-was-my-idea-closed/ta-p/5171164.

Also, I've had someone check your idea and it, unfortunately, only had 64 votes.

Hope this clears things up 🙂
