Does it do anything but gives some hipster insults?

My activity seems to have messed it up:

"You only listen to Obama-era jams like Sleepy Brown Noise by White Noise for Reading" err..

How do I delete my data?

This looks really cool, but I wish it displayed some sort of lip service guarantee about not preserving my data. As-is I'm unable to determine whether this is a fun project or a kind of trojan horse to grab as much Spotify data as possible. (and obviously at the end of the day it comes down to trust)

Sad that this thought pattern is a thing. I was also too paranoid to sign in with Spotify.

Haven't used Spotify in over a year now so it'll judge an older me, but it apparently has my favorite Melon as a reference of good taste so it can't be all that bad.

Isn't that a younger you though?

Unless GP is an android, in which case it is older for sure.

lol that’s really cute. Spotify permissions it asks for make sense. It was really confused by all the kid music I play. Why so much Raffi? Their training set must not include people with children. :)

I was asked

> "You listen to 'Super Simple Songs' a lot. I mean A LOT. Are you ok?"

This is hilarious... > You are 26% basic. You're trying to be cool with Kapitan Korsakov, but your favorites are the same as everybody else's.. > Your spotify was please-read-my-manuscript-walmart-hawaiian-shirt-sitting-alone-in-the-cafeteria bad. Ouch. Really interesting project by all means. I hope they release the source - I'm curious about how it was built. Edit: This same link was posted 11 hours ago https://new…

> Your taste is so obscure that's so cool I bet you're super interesting.. After it picked the one very popular song I listen to in order to laugh at me for listening to non obscure things, ignoring the piles of weird random crap I normally listen to that nobody ever seems to know. Funny but not very accurate. Overall all I got a good laugh though.

I think the microtonal stuff I listen to is probably too unpopular to even have reviews to go on.

As soon as I saw melon I knew I was in for a ride.

I was hoping it was a questionnaire about how bad Spotify recommendations are. I have no idea why Spotify feels the need to clutter my recommendations with radio stations like "Rap Caviar" and "Music for when you know you're the bad bitch", meanwhile it doesn't show me new releases for music I actually listen to because of all the irrelevant suggestions taking up space. I ended up creating a new account because apparently listening to a couple of podcast episodes means you want half your page filled with recommendations for shows on the same topic.
