A lot of people use Spotify to entertain themselves during their daily commute, early morning jogs or exercise routine, while working or studying, and while doing chores.
Online streamers also use Spotify during live streams to enhance the viewing experience of their audiences. The tracks they choose to add to their queue set the mood. If the songs fit the stream, the viewers will enjoy watching them more.
