Small collectives can hugely amplify a target song relative to its frequency in the training data.
Algorithmic Collective Action in Recommender Systems: Promoting Songs by Reordering Playlists

This work examines how small collectives can amplify recommendations for a targeted song in transformer-based recommender systems with minimal platform performance impact, revealing non-adversarial yet effective strategies that raise broader questions about incentives and social dynamics [].
