Tried the GDPR data export from Spotify. By default, you get like 6 JSON files with almost nothing. After many emails and complaining and a month of waiting, I got a 250MB archive with basically EVERY INTERACTION I ever did with any Spotify client, all my searches. Everything.

They even store the brand of headphone I use. How do you even get that data, digging deep in CoreBluetooth?

Any interaction I ever did, including window sizes, connection timeouts, what song I stopped when. Nothing particular interesting, just every-freaking-thing.

Like some others I am wondering what AbbaResponseTime.json is. Are you planning to write a blog post about it? 😇

My biggest question is: Is anyone actually looking at or checking on this data? Is it simply a product stakeholder’s “just grab everything we’ll sift through it later” instruction gone awry? I have to image some serious tech would need to be built to “make sense” of all that.

Pretty sure it’s some “let’s collect all and aee what we can use” paradigm.
