Yes. That is crazy. Spotify needs to fix that.

Leaving aside the automation part, I think it's going to be possible. You'd need to have a file somewhere with a list of your playlists and their Spotify IDs, and the desired titles and captions, and then a program that uses the Spotify API to reapply those details: https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/playlists/change-playlist-details/ And for the cover image: https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/playlists/upload-custom-playlist-cover/ Automation would be a bit harder, as you'd have to periodically query the API for each playlist's description, and then update them. https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/playlists/get-playlist/ The reason this would be harder is that you'd risk running up against the rate limits: https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/#rate-limiting But that's a matter of striking a balance between how much you use the API and how quickly you notice a problem. Initially, just having something that you manually run would be fairly straight-forward, and should still be of value. > I am willing to pay for someone making this code for me, because these fake > reports are becoming more and more frequent, and as a music blogger, Spotify > Playlists are a part of my income.

I won't take on the job myself, but I fully support the notion :) To whoever ends up picking this up, it'll be a pretty straight-forward job of calling on an HTTP API. All the best!
