    That’s cute and all, but it’s also pretty much what Google, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, Spotify and all the other tech giants are doing when they’re joyfully tracking what people are doing without their knowledge or consent.

        I’m sure they are. How could they not? They love you for who you are and what you do and what you think…

        I’m sure they’d love to spend the rest of your life with you anyway

        They are in love with the ability to make her happy, and bond emotionally.

        Tech companies are in love with the ability to analyze your emotional state so they can exploit it trough business offers giving them more money.

        While still a tad creepy that she doesn’t officially know, They and them are not the same.

        (Edit: They because OP is not the author)

          Sure, still a bit weird tho. I mean what happens when OP is on a business trip and his gf seems to suddenly have a whole different taste in music in the morning? Could easily lead to misunderstandings…or not.

    Two months ago I would have a hard time imagining what’s so wholesome about this. Nice to understand this now.

    This is because we have a Google home which is linked to my Spotify account.

    Cute story… this is an advertisement, even if it was not the author’s intent. I enjoy human connection and mawwiage as much as the next guy, but we can have a better story with post-google open source alternatives.

    “Will you be my Spotify Duo… til death do us part?” I texted her, over my Google Pixel 3 Watch

    sniffle “Of course my love. Nike, Just Do It™” she said, between sips of her new Folger’s dark mountain blend with new hazelnut flavor.

    “Based, fam” And then they Uber off into the sunset.

    I don’t understand what’s wholesome about a single household needing to pay for multiple accounts to simultaneously stream, but all the more power to you.

      Its a cute story, the tech is only a small part of it. But its actually a good thing for the guy in the story that they can’t stream at the same time since it let’s them connect in that small way every day
