... you can follow people on Spotify?
Yup
What does it do? Do you like... see what they're playing? You listen along or something?
Not a lot. Yes you can see what they are playing and they use it to make recommendations for you.
I think the primary motivator for Spotify is just data scraping. Everybody wants to know your circle of friends in order to advertise better towards you.
I don’t know if it’s still a feature but I used to get phone notifications every time a friend put a song on.
I don’t recommend this.
But I remember we did it. "Okay, Brian, the record's five. The record's five... Okay ready? Go!"
For me, I follow several artists and it gives updates on when they uploaded a new album etc etc And I follow my siblings and could see what they're listening to, live, if I activated the sidebar but I'm just here to listen to music
That first part works without following personal accounts too. I don't follow anyone but I get notified when the bands I listen to release new albums. Besides that, I use the release radar playlist.
Yep, you can see what song they're playing if you follow each other. Not sure if it does anything else
