I don’t like country, but last night I did a friend a favor and went to a country concert with her. Today Spotify is suddenly playing songs from the artist in my playlist. I’ve never listened to country songs before and certainly didn’t do anything to indicate to Spotify that I wanted to listen to this kind of music. How did Spotify do this and how do I get them to stop? This is so creepy.

It sounds like Spotify might be using your location data to suggest songs based on concerts or events you attend. You can turn off location services for the app in your phone’s settings to prevent this from happening in the future. It’s definitwly a bit creepy, but it’s also an example of how companies use data to personalize our experiences. Hope that helps!
