This is what relentless back-and-forth made someone realise how much Spotify loves him. https://twitter.com/steipete/status/1025024813889478656 https://twitter

  Ironically, I've been trying to get that data and cannot. I got a 400KiB zip file with like 10 JSONs inside, only relevant ones being listening history (ts and ms played per song). Support suggested there might be more data, they even re-did the export, but nothing.

  Why create a throwaway account just to post this? I don’t think it’s a surprise to anyone that Spotify collects telemetry data on its users. The main reason myself (and many others) use Spotify is because they use this data to recommend new music that I will like.

    Creating throwaways to post is a feature of HN. I didn't abuse it. I don't have a HN account. It's not meant as slander. It's just to show others 'here is something that's true that you might not have thought of or have thought of but haven't thought of it in all it's 250 MB glory. Decide for yourself'. Folks who wanna try something different might like 'Radio Paradise'. It's human curated music. Have wide platforms support [1] but also regular stream URLs [2] [1] https://radioparadise.com/listen/options https://radioparadise.com/listen/options [2] https://radioparadise.com/listen/stream-links https://radioparadise.com/listen/stream-links
