I figured out how to export a list of the music people I listen to from Spotify and into a spreadsheet and I am having wayyyyyy too much fun with this.

I listen to 1,147 different people (on average that means each of them appear around 1.3 times in my liked songs playlist). Of those, 70 start with "The " (3 more start with "The" as part of their names, ie Thelma Houston)

I don't even know who like 70% of these people are, they just happen to appear on one random song I liked on May 7th, 2021, and now forever reside on my playlist.

But there's a JoJo, JoJi, Ruji, Bazanji, benee, war Paramore, Christian Wannerwall, 2 different doctors, 10 different dudes named John, and 3 little people (plus 6 lil people). One person is registered (ยฎ), one is incorporated, and there's 2 people with $ in their names. And don't forget Dan Andrews

I don't know why I'm doing this instead of sleeping, but I currently don't regret my actions

Spotify makes 'fake' bands that they then push on users so they don't have to pay for the content, or licensing etc. They really are an incredibly awful bunch of scum lords.

You now need to work out how to put as much information as possible into graphs.
