I've seen one person I know using them and linking from Bluesky.

I guess I'm wondering if artists should have an opportunity to opt in (or out).
I'm not sure why really, but I feel like we all put our music on BC with the expectation around how a listener would experience it. That is, they'd go to our BC page, look at a release, maybe read liner notes, choose what song to play, look at the cover art, etc. We have some agency around that experience. Whereas with playlists, we might have no control over how our music is experienced.
Certainly, playlists have the potential to increase traffic to our Bandcamp pages, and that's great. But some artists might value maintaining control over that user experience, for whatever reason. They ought to have that opportunity.
