      Because music charts are valuable because the music industry is valuable? They give me free access to their API and they get to scrape the data. It’s not incriminating data, it’s not GPS data. It is, at best, an unreliable indicator of when I am awake.

      They sell (sold?) the recommendation API. When you scrobble, last.fm got to build a corpus of data they could make recommendations from.
