Also, take it from a squid- clams don’t meditate. They’re big gooey messes of anxiety in a shell.

    Are you implying that Spotify used user data to generate these advertisements, rather than just paying the marketing firm that definitely came up with this idea?

    Also, way to add an extra layer to the promotion.

      Do you think Spotify is paying me or something? For fuck’s sake. I thought it was funny. If you don’t like it, move on.

      Looks like an anti-Spotify ad to me. Why should Spotify employees read the names of people’s playlists?

      Edit: oh, they’re probably public ones. Still, technically profiting off people’s content, which they likely agreed to in ToS.

        That seems like something that could be easily taken just from the api, I feel like if it’s data anyone can get for free, they are fine to use it in ads.

          I mean, the users probably didn’t read the ToS but lots of social media and similar have these rules. I feel they should ask for every instance they use individual data for advertising their platform anyway even if the user clicked “Agree” when signing up. ToS;DR calls this “You sign away moral rights”.
