Every platform Meta has also does this. You speak about something specific, you get an ad about it in the next few scrolls. I mowed the lawn today, I got ads about lawnmowers.

As someone who never used Spotify but rather an illegal app at first then switched to yt music, I never understood the appeal of Spotify. Catalogue is small especially if you are a niche listener, and when I was on the fence yt premium was at that point just 2 euros more expensive with add free YouTube, which is why I have never left.

I feel you man, as a DJ and Music Producer myself I have found it difficult to enjoy making / DJing music for the past few months (to a point where I haven't touched any of the software and barely any of the hardware)... I am slowly getting back into it but I can only find enjoyment in producing when I avoid listening to music in my pass-time, mainly listening to podcasts at the gym now. I'm worried how AI is going to be used in creative industries like ours... Let's keep fighting for our passions, never give up, and only use AI for tedious tasks rather than as a replacement! ❤

ter propaganda no meio do podcast é sacanagem e não é nem propaganda DO podcaster é propaganda DO SPOTIFY sabe? uma pena que todas as minhas playlists estão no spotify, mas pretendo trocar o quanto antes. Sou novo no canal e eu gostei muito da dinamica do video e como você fala com clareza os pontos do seu raciocineo. +1 Inscrito xD

My guess is that they don't "spy" on you in a sense that they are listening to what you say, but that they are using other metrics to determine what you are likely to be doing.

For instance, if you connect your phone to the car stereo via bluetooth, the app can see that. Then it can logically deduce that you must be driving.
Similarly with the bluetooth karaoke speaker, if your phone has been connected to that, then Spotify has likely deduced that you own a karaoke speaker.

thats a longest youtube promo ever, but i get where you coming from, I stopped using spotify a year ago, thank God didnt have to experience the Ai thing, music is personal for me dont think robotics should infiltrate that space, i am audiowhore/junky i hate bad music selection, and i agree the shuffle on spotify sucks, but I use to like the smart shuffle because of discovering new music and artists, but i dont subscribe to these platforms no more, they ripping artist off, good post Thozi, from another Thozi.

So true man! It is so hard to find new music because Spotify keeps playing the same songs. And another thing I don't like is that the app pushes music from people who are signed to big record labels hence why Drake somehow always finds his way to your playlist and spotify wrapped.

Can you turn off tracking on your device?

Just a reminder that Spotify's CEO itself doesn't care about musicians one bit, and only sees them as assets. By leaving Spotify and subscribing to for example YouTube Premium (which is essentially the same price with all the same songs available + ad-free YouTube), you are doing a favor for all the small musicians and artists that are basically forced to use Spotify since it is one of the biggest streaming platforms. Spotify un-surprisingly takes advantage of their size, just like Twitch with it's streamers.

I actually think the shuffle is useful (coming from a teen). I don't really want to hear songs I liked while I was a tween but as for the DJ part, damn your Spotify is cooked
