Forgotify tears through Spotify in search of songs with zero plays, playing only the songs that no one else has ever listened to.
According to data that Spotify released in October of last year, 80% of the 20-million-or-so songs on Spotify have been listened to at least once.
That’s 4 million songs with zero plays.
If the rate at which people are using Forgotify exceeds the rate at which Spotify adds new tracks, Forgotify is theoretically eating itself with each new listen.
If you actually want to listen to a track, you’ll have to be signed in to Spotify.
