Ah yes, it's december, the time of year when all big tech companies try to make their surveillance seem cute by showing stats of all the stuff they know about you.

Argh! That "original carol" is actually about spring actually originally. Tempus adest floridum.

(I like your version!)

@ainmosni I can only imagine the report the Musk-brain-implant people receive about their private thoughts

@ainmosni seriously, if the YouTube Music algo was truly "smart", instead of "celebrating" the music I listened to it should have been like "dude, WTF happened to you this year? Are you okay?" 🙃

@ainmosni

Yet despite boasting about their AI, and how well they know their customers, still manages to regularly recommend shit music and music that you don't listen to.

@ainmosni All? Ah, one wishes that was all, and not just the tiny fraction they understand they can reveal without rousing their users' anger

@ainmosni Deezer told me "Sorry, You didn't stream enough".
Which feels like a win, to be honest! And might lead to me uninstalling the app entierly, as I do not seem to be using it. 😊

It's not spying.

Spotify, for example, has to know what songs you listened to and how many times. That's how they pay their artist. ... That's how they barely pay their artists.

On the other hand, Twitch thinks I watched their service 366 days last year for an average of nearly 27 hours a day, so I wouldn't worry too much about them collecting sensitive information.
