Your search data and history.
Listening profiles: what tastes do you have, and what other things do you like? If you like Ray Lamontagne and Taylor Swift what else might keep you on the platform?
What % of people like X? What sorts of trends are happening in music? Chord preferences, rhythms, bpm, etc
All of this aggregate data can be sold to different companies, record labels, etc.

Search data no History no Listening profile no What you like no
None of this can be sold if they never chose what to listen to. It’s data suicide

You pick songs, they squeeze ads and other songs in between (IIRC) and can gather data from how you interact with all of that.
You’re understanding the value of big data.
It’s why I reject all of these services. CDs, baby!
