Pirating music is genuinely just not worth the effort so I honestly belive them. Probably didn’t scrape all of them simply because that’s a petabyte of storage or more.

I’m not sure exactly how “listens” maps on to total songs, but it sounds like they got almost all of them

Over 250 million total so about 1/3.

Oh right. So I guess that means the majority of stuff uploaded to Spotify never really gets listened to.
