Dude, Spotify is a song streaming service. Holding on to song history is one of the features they offer. Lyft and Uber are taxi services. Holding on to history is a feature. Go start your own privacy car if you want. I’m not in favour of this world where you privacy first people want all these features removed from applications I use.

They keep quite a bit more than what you see on the surface, or what would be needed for the simplest definition of play history https://twitter.com/steipete/status/1025024813889478656

If they could tell me where I listened to what I’d love that. I wish there were Services for Feature-lovers. I’d love for my player to be able to handle mood (road trips vs work) and hold all these things without me thinking about it. I don’t want checkbox hell.

You're like the NSA's wet dream.

Just track everything and I don't want to think about it!!

Or, better yet, why don't those companies ask before keeping all this data?
