"Man stelle sich vor, konservative Kräfte in den USA erklären etwa Schwangerenberatungsstellen oder queere Organisationen zu ›terroristischen‹ Feindbildern – würden unsere Banken dann ebenso bereitwillig deren Konten kündigen?

That somebody backed up all the data from Spotify and made it available in raw is a pretty good example for what is actually at the core of platforms business models. It's not the data itself, it's the human behaviour: playlists, interactions, recommendations, ease-of-use and availability. Sure, you can listen to the music without the service, but what makes the service profitable is how it is made available and integrated into our lifes. The music isn't under control. The users are.

Spotify recommended a band to me recently. One song I really, really (really) liked. I couldn't find any information about the band so I grew suspicious and it seems to be one of many, many "bands" that consist of artificially generated media only. Now I feel dumb, naïve and taken advantage of. There are reasons why I still use Spotify but this experience may be why I eventually leave the service for one that guarantees not to have "AI"-slob.
