I have a number of people who follow me on Spotify. That means they can see what I'm listening to. I like that feature because I spend a lot of time creating playlists (my Run playlist has over 82 hours worth of music) and I like that others can enjoy the songs (or at least see what I'm listening to). Besides, I enjoy introducing people to artists or songs they may never have heard of.

However, I don't always want people to know what I'm listening to every single minute of the day. Here's an example. Let's say I've never listened to a particular artist who is phenomenally popular because their music just isn't my jam. But maybe one day I get curious and want to hear what all the hype is about. I might not want my followers to follow along.

After all, I might have a reputation to uphold. My musical tastes tend to lean toward more complex music. I like a lot of dissonance, challenging chord progressions, and a mixture of time signatures. My favorite artists tend to fall in line with the likes of Rush, Devin Townsend, and Mozart.

With that said, I might not want my followers to see me taking a diversion into the realm of pop music. Don't get me wrong
