    I wouldn’t be surprised if this was an actual feature, seeing it in every fucking app now (yearly rewinds). Like fuck off, I dont care and feel “violated” for you monitoring this kind of shit.

    Except you Steam, you cool…

      I don’t even hate the concept of the rewinds; they just mostly suck. The one for Discord was basically just “heres who you chatted with most, the server you sent most messages in, and how many emojis you sent.” I don’t care. Youtube and YTMusic have one. Spotify added an AI Wrapped podcast last year. Even the NYT Games app has one.

        My EV charging app sent me a wrapped-style email the other day. Full of stuff like the station that I used most often. It’s too much.

        Even LinkedIn did one. Completely unnecessary but it drives engagement and whatever else helps the algorithm™️

        Yes. Spotify got one aswell, and on my girlfriends phone, her default photo app provided her with a rewind that showed her certain topics she seems to enjoy photos of, in her case “cats” (containing plenty of images of my dog).

    Funny how OP spends the time to make this and cannot even grammar check a single sentence.

    Not sure if funny or sad since they can play it off as intentional here.

      lol, I keep trying to explain this. Incognito only removes your local browsing so your mate doesn’t see what you were planning to get them, or the porn you prefer to watch. It does not hide from websites or ISPs etc. Not even sure how well it does that.

      Neat little typo there though “whet”, is THAT what you were up to? lol

    Note that Google never did false advertisement. If you think your browser not saving a history makes you immune to scrutiny you are not being reasonable.
