From a privacy standpoint, i guess. I want to support open scrobbling with listenbrainz and the account isn't directly linked to a real acc. Why shouldn't I/ why don't you?

I just started scrobbling with Listenbrainz. I do it through an anonymous account, and the scrobbling comes through my self hosted music server.

I’m trying it out to see if I like the recommendations. If I do I’ll consider it a fair trade off in privacy for now.
