      Your search data and history.

      Listening profiles: what tastes do you have, and what other things do you like? If you like Ray Lamontagne and Taylor Swift what else might keep you on the platform?

      What % of people like X? What sorts of trends are happening in music? Chord preferences, rhythms, bpm, etc

      All of this aggregate data can be sold to different companies, record labels, etc.

        Search data no

        Because you never choose

        History no

        Because you never choose

        Listening profile no

        Because you never choose

        What you like no

        Because you never choose

        None of this can be sold if they never chose what to listen to. It’s data suicide

          You pick songs, they squeeze ads and other songs in between (IIRC) and can gather data from how you interact with all of that.

          You’re understanding the value of big data.

          It’s why I reject all of these services. CDs, baby!
