Someone who claims to have scraped Spotify public listening data from a number of public figures — politicians, celebrities, journalists — spun up their alleged playlists and made it into a site
(panamaplaylists.com)
I found the real Spotify accounts of celebrities, politicians, and journalists. Many use their real names. With a little sleuthing, I could say with near-certainty: yep, this is them.
We’ve been scraping their accounts since summer 2024. Playlists, live listening feed, everything. I know what songs they played, when, and how many times.
Heard of the Panama Papers? That exposed offshore bank accounts. This is about onshore vibes.
It's just 80s to contemporary "coworker music", lol. Of course, it's expected, these people are vacuous in every possible way.
That's such a pretentious way to put it, on par with describing popular movies as "popcorn films"
Eh, not the way that I see it. Santana, Jamiroquai, Barry White, Donna Summer, Tame Impala, Death Grips etc. are/were very popular and it's hard to deny their artistic quality. Same with movies like Terminator, Rocky, Alien, Dr. Straneglove, The Godfather, Up...
