I'm a paid subscriber. I'm paying for the product, and therefore I shouldn't have to be the product.

I'm an email-only user (no Facebook for me).

I just want to stream music that I want to listen to. That's it. I don't want any social features, I don't want my play list being generated automatically by my heart rate, etc.
