I like Pocket Casts and I’m not knocking the fact that they have them or that other people like them, but stats like these make me feel existential dread.

That's so interesting, I never considered it but think I understand how you feel.

I've always wanted more stats like this. I expected/hoped Google Play Music (and now the inferior YouTube Music) would provide amazing overviews of what you listen to. I wish I had stats on the music I listened to in WinAmp in the 90s and a way to see the change in my musical tastes (and the consistent threads through the years). I bet I could track relationships very easily by the playlists I listened to.

I used last.fm back in the early 00’s. I don’t think it logged playlists, but it did log every song you listened to. It kind of faded away when streaming services took over which he no or variable support for last.fm.
https://listenbrainz.org/user/<musicbrainz user id>/ is what I have used and it has been pretty good so far.
yea... reminds me of seeing the number of hours a friend had put into EverQuest. I'm sure I'd be appalled at many of my own stats for my own activities
Steam's play hours is the worst one for me
