The first of a new year seems like a good day to assemble, aggregate, summarize and publish various year in review posts for the prior year.

When various online services create a year in review for you many weeks before the end of the year (whether #Spotify #Unwrapped or #Strava #YearInSport), it seems they are short-changing you.

No one asks for an 11 months in review (except HR departments, which is a different problem).

So why do people accept only an ~11 months summary when services provide such a premature “year” in review?

When people say things like “Make every day count” do they not also believe you should “Count every day”?

In this case, 2024 had 366 days. You should count every one of them, and every thing from every one of them.

Rather than “sharing” a premature year in review, request your “year in review” today on the 1st of the year from various services, extract the data you want, fill in any gaps, and post your year in reviews on your own site¹.

You know how we're seeing all those #UnWrapped posts from various platforms - LinkedIn, Spotify, even Mastodon - that use #data to summarise your posts or tastes or engagements with the platform?

I'd like to see a tool that does some sort of data harvesting unwrapped - e.g.

▶️ We harvested all of your sleep data and sold it for $xx to a health insurance provider, along with the gender and weight information you gave us. It's not our fault if they increase your premiums, you fat tired woman who snores!

▶️ We harvested all the natural language data you used in your posts, tokenized it and performed sentiment analysis, so now we can infer whether you're happy or depressed, and target advertising which exploits those weaknesses 🎉

▶️ We recorded all the utterances you spoke to your voice assistant, and now we can tell the exact period when you had a cold, or bronchitis, or COVID, and we've sold that to bossware companies who will rate you on how many sick days you're likely to take. They're good buddies with the folks we sold your sleep data to!

▶️ In the platform that you use every day for work, we harvested all your click data so that we can build a profile of how someone in your job role operates, and then try to automate it to replace you, you feeble, fallible, rest-needing, expensive meat sack.

▶️ I give up these are too easy, unfortunately

Merry data-mas.

Well, everyone has their reasons & I’ve heard them all before but if you MUST use Sp*tify could you at least stop letting them use you for free publicity so they can enshittify even more of the music industry? #wrapped #unwrapped #ugh

Isn't #unwrapped always better than #wrapped ?

A typical capture from #wrapped Spotify campaing, but with empty information and an highlight text that reads: "None of your fucking business"

Spotify #Unwrapped really doesn’t work if you’re the sort of philistine who just puts Spotify playlists like 'autumn acoustic' or 'sweater weather' on for background music and vibes - I don't actually recognise my alleged most listened to track and probably couldn’t identify it if you played it to me right now.

Similarly Adele is in my Top 5 and I don’t actually like Adele that much, but she’s all over their playlists for various sponsorship reasons, I guess.

If #NYTimes #cooking app had an #unwrapped it would probably just be a photo of this recipe. Legit changed the way I cooked broccoli but hilariously I can never remember it.
