The Digest: Spotify fans are cat people… and 4 other things people are talking about today
Spotify fans are cat people, but Taylor Swift fans prefer dogs, data shows | The Guardian
[/nextpage] [nextpage title=”Next”]“Maybe the row between Spotify and Taylor Swift is about more than streaming music royalties. Maybe it boils down to a deep disagreement over pets. That’s one (yes, ridiculous, but wait until you see the data) conclusion to be drawn from a comparison of these two brands on market research firm YouGov’s new Profiler web app, which launched this week. It enables you to plug in any brand, person or thing to see what data YouGov’s surveys have thrown up on its typical customer or fan. It turns out Spotify fans are cat people, while Taylor Swift fans are dog people.”

It’s a meaningless transaction which nobody seems to get anything out of at all (certainly not the player, who must sit through screamingly awkward animations and eyebrow-raisingly OTT audio).”
