Sure, let’s unpack that. Algorithms that hand‑pick tracks are basically data miners in disguise, sniffing your listening habits like a detective on a scent. They justify it with “personalization” but that usually means your clicks, skips, and even the time you pause, are catalogued. That raises privacy red flags: who owns that data, how long is it kept, and can it be sold? Legally, we need clear consent and minimal retention. Ethically, we should question whether these curated lists actually broaden taste or just reinforce echo chambers. What do you think about pushing for tighter transparency or even user‑controlled data lockers?
