i’m sad that no social platform has ever made the act of sharing music fun

I think the main problem is that music access is gated by walled gardens. 

Imagine if Spotify was a protocol that anyone could build apps on top of and user data was totally composable behind zk or fhe for total user controllable privacy.

We'd be having so much fun sharing music that our ears might fall off.

Access to user data and music streaming control in a composable way. 

Spotify API only lets you stream what they allow you to have access to. 

Totally limits the killer idea experimentation to find new adopted behaviors. 

Eg. Spotify is just now finally starting to make intelligent playlist suggestions. I just got "you seem to listen to this type of music on Saturday mornings: here's a playlist!

- that kind of experimentation is really slow cuz it's all in-house development

Eg. Users can't share their data with each other. "Blended" playlists is the closest, but there's no user controls. If ppl had sovereign control over sharing their data there would be so much more experimentation with profiles and collaborative playlists

Eg. Yearly wrap ups are pretty stupid and useless because they are too simple, broad, and filtration of what ppl listen to has no context. Experimentation with this data would unveil amazing insights into listener preferences.

I could go on 😁

All for this. Counterpoint - what could you not getting cooking with the Spotify API? I'm feeling like it's more the killer idea/mechanic/adopted behaviour more than it is the technical limitations
