Dave A Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 OK I searched for Spotify and the majority of posts regarding it are here, which is why I am posting this here. It is spooky how many devices and services want inside your house and mind. In my house we do not invite these types of things in. https://www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/spotifys-latest-invention-will-determine-your-emotional-state-from-your-speech-and-suggest-music-based-on-it/ 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubo Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I had a professional singer give me his 500 CD collection a few weeks ago It will be a while before I need new content. But I will cross all Big Bros companies off of the list 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YK Thom Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I don't like the sounds of this at all. I'll stick with streaming Jazz Fm Toronto live and the Radio Tunes channels. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 They can make all the recommendations they want (they already do to some extent), but its never accurate and I play what I want to play. At the end of the day people can try and control you, don't let them and they won't. Maybe I'm just naive?

Hmmm, wonder what they would do if Monty Python or local wrestling matches were all they heard? I suppose it could be as amusing as asking Alexa dumb questions on your friends phone. 24-7 of cheezy Kung Fu might be fun to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pondoro Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Facebook suggested a friend to me, my cousin who I had not talked to in 20 years. We have different last names, live in different states, we had no mutual Facebook friends or mutual liked pages. How did they know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OO1 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 they know from another member of your family who is on Facebook and who disclosed the information - how else would they have known --someone 's gotta have shared personal data that crosses over to you - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have different last names, live in different states, we had no mutual Facebook friends or mutual liked pages. How did they know? Linkedin is famous for going uninvited into your email program and finding all your contacts and then contacting them. I have no doubt Fakebook is as bad as any of them in this regard.They follow bread crumb trails and you had one somewhere. Sites like Classmates.com sell info too and they dig everywhere for stuff like this hoping to rope you into being active. Best thing you can do is get off all that nonsense if you value privacy. Years after leaving Linkedin I still get crap but since I do not have an account there any more I can't tell them to stop. Funny how that works isn't it.
