Spotify premium ad: "Subscribe to Spotify premium and you can skip any number of songs you want. We won't take it personally."

Actually you do!
What I skip and what I listen through tells your machine learning what I like and what not. That's how it builds my listening profile.
So your (software's) opinion of me directly depends on what and how much I skip.
(I expect that skips from people skipping often to have less value than from seldom skippers.)

That sounds like the definition of "taking it personally"!

    Just noticed, that I fucked up the tags.
    "Artificial intelligence" obviously should be "machine learning".

    Too late to change it.

    @AlexDeLarge to be fair I've never had to contact their customer service. Never really had any complaints about their recommendations either but that's probably because I have a fairly large taste when it comes to music.
    Their UI is dreadful though. I'll give you that.

    @AlexDeLarge I have about the same taste in music. Yet one summer they bombarded me with snoop dog ads.

    @AlexDeLarge sometimes it feels like they place the most obnoxious ads on purpose, just to sell premium subscriptions.
