I’m going insane. I cannot for the life of me find a suitable way to listen to music privately. I’m on iOS, and I don’t know whether to just stick to Apple Music or give up on music in general (I tried, TRIED to go local, but all the apps are shitty). Any way to listen to music and not have your data compromised? Should I just stick to Apple Music and hope that laws change (maybe something like EU’s DMA?)
Exactly, what are the privacy risks of letting someone know what type of music do you like?
Maybe getting sold tickets to a concert?
(Which I would consider a win, because I always think about that when it’s sold out)
@ExLisper @Nikls94 Basically predicting and modifying your behavior. Here’s a paper that explains how it’s done: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S235215461730044X
The article frames behavior modification as a health advancement, but whoever can alter a habit can do so both to heal and to alter your vote or discourage you from protesting, and to make you accept unacceptable living conditions. Tell me what you listen to, and I’ll tell you who you are (and eventually I’ll make you be who I want).
This article pretty much says that listening to relaxing music can help you with stress levels. Saying that spotify can use the same mechanism to make you vote for Trump by slightly changing what songs are in your ‘daily mix’ playlist is a bit of a stretch.
