Oh and i forgot the most important thing, I am paying good money for this service, now they also mine my data? I grew up in a time where "if it's free, you're the product". I guess that's not even the case anymore, if you pay, you're still the product...


That was never the case. You paid money for food in the store? Tracked and data mined. You pay for spotify? Tracked and data mined. Only thing not tracked are things where it is impossible/worthless to track it


i guess it's super cool then shrug. There is also a difference between tracking the music you listen to and even the food you buy, and "conversations" you have that may include much more private and sensitive topics.
