I used to love discovering new music through Spotify's Song Radio feature. But somewhere along the way, they started personalizing it so much that every radio is now basically an echo chamber of the same songs I already know, most of which I have even already added to my Liked Songs.

I built myself a small service to "disable" (work around) Spotify's hyperpersonalization by giving me the Song Radio as an anonymous user would see it. It's available at https://spoqify.com/ (with the name chosen that way so that I only need to replace a single letter in the URL of a Song Radio Playlist and it'll forward me to an unpersonalized version of it).

As @svantana mentioned this unfortunately does not remove any personalization in Song Radio, etc. As long as you're logged in, these auto-generated playlists will contain exactly the same (personalized!) list of songs, regardless of whether you open them with or without the `si` and `utm` parameters. Removing `si` and `utm` just removes marketing / referral tracking information.

I got tired of hearing the same songs over and over again in Spotify's auto-generated playlists (e.g. Song Radio), so I made this little service that forwards you to the same playlist but with the songs that an anonymous user sees :)

If fiat deposits into Bitfinex create USDT, shouldn't fiat withdrawals from Bitfinex burn USDT?

I'm having trouble to find comprehensive data on USDT burns but https://coinmarketcap.com/headlines/news/tether-just-burned-... seems to suggest that one billion is extraordinary (and those weren't removed from circulation but swapped to another chain), and Tether finds it Twitter-worthy when they burn 100 million: https://twitter.com/Tether_to/status/1225088948243968005

For sure I don't expect Bitfinex fiat withdrawals to match fiat deposits, but 100 million USD withdrawn vs 30 billion deposited seems unordinary?
