People think sure, I don't mind them knowing which songs I listen to so they can give me recs and wrapped... But Spotify isn't just tracking which songs you are listening to the most. They are tracking every location, device, phone, PC, car, network, IP, WiFi, connected devices, what other apps you have on your devices, and more. With the data they have, someone can pinpoint everywhere you've been, every minute since you got the app, even who you've been with and what mood you were in. You can request the data and it's mindblowing. It's way more than is necessary or appropriate to track to give you a top songs list once a year. And other entities, including governments and whoever bought data from their latest beaches, has it too.
