Dear Spotify: don’t manipulate our emotions for profit

Take a stand against Spotify
's recent speech-recognition patent that claims to detect “emotional state, gender, age, or accent” to recommend music.

Music services shouldn't be using covert surveillance in their products.

That's why I quit the service a year ago.
My alternative is being more mindful with music and download from YouTube. (of course only free music)

That's a scary feature for something that's just for playing music.

"manipulate our emotions"
That's what the a-social network sites call 'engagement' and is what they all do.
And ofc it's for profit.

I see no reason to single out Spotify.

The solution is very simple: don't use Spotify. No listener is forced to used Spotify. It's simply not necessary and never was. Asking them to change is probably pointless. They don't care, won't care, and will continue to get more awful.
