I have a service that extracts my playback data.
I’m fairly confident I would not just discover 6700 different artists by word of mouth, searching, or shazam combined. It would take a lifetime.
Shazam identifies music that’s playing- where is it playing from in the first place?
With all the enshitifications global conglomerates are doing, how sure are you that the company will hold on to the promises they made?
I mean, this data is on their servers, right? (Even if it is stored locally, it’s probably scrambled, like the local downloaded music, so that no one else can take advantage of it)
We all forget that these companies operate on a “for profit” basis and will always find ways to maximize it.
Why? Corporate overlords are greedy. Not that I’m against it. They just soldemly ignore the “imaginary line” to absurdity that should not be crossed.
After all, even google found a way to go around the “don’t be evil” policy; right now, I get shoved a minimum of 6 ads, each video 😡
Spotify users, get ready for ads right before the chorus of your fav songs.
