Wtf is Spotify doing?
Gathering and selling your data.
So much data to infer from your music tastes. Listening to music about breakup? You had a breakup yourself. Listening to classical music? You're a top earner. Listening to Eminem? You like mom's spaghetti.
I stopped using it as soon as I ordered a takeout of my data and saw they saved my unfinished searches even after I deleted them
Selling to who?
the service serves ads, anything that will serve ads will also typically create a profile on users preference to then have targetted ads.
Still it's not American but swedish
