Why is Spotify suddenly playing songs from a concert I went to last night?

662 viewsOther

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.

You are tracked. All day, every day, everything about you is tracked. Most of it is anonymous, meaning it doesn’t have identifying data to you specifically, just that this phone was in this area or on this website. All of that gets fed to the algorithm. And there’s nothing you can do about it because politicians are paid to pass laws that allow tech companies to do it.
