#2Today Spotify has taken away some API endpoints, leaving many users in the lurch. ListenBrainz has been working hard to create similar API endpoints and datasets, all freely available.

#3Is there a list of projects / examples that are using your APIs? Intrigued.

Your profile makes it clear this is your project. I recommend also stating
this explicitly in your comments, as your username doesn't suggest a
connection.

Any plans to include the feature on artist pages on MusicBrainz?

Artist similarity is calculated from the listening history of all users.
Basically if many people listen to artist X and artist Y within a short window of time, that counts towards their similarity score.
Also artists that appear together on compilation albums also counts for similarity, but to a lesser degree.
In the near future we want to add more data from MusicBrainz, for an easy example band members being part of other bands = they are probably similar.
All of this is available on ListenBrainz, but will most likely not be surfaced on the MusicBrainz pages which have a different —more factual— focus.
