I felt like I had a longer time getting over the booster than the 2nd shot, but the symptoms weren't different (fatigue, mental fog). Big difference was I took the next day off after the 2nd shot and powered through the booster. With the 2nd shot I was like 80% back to normal on the 2nd day after, and with the booster I didn't really feel fully myself until Friday (shot on the previous Sunday). If I end up having to get another one, I'll go back to laying low the following day and let my body work through it.

I have no idea, but they said my top song was something I played only 23 times, which certainly is hilariously inaccurate. I've always kind of had the same suspicion - it doesn't feel malicious to me or like they're manipulating data, but something feels dramatically off. Like a huge chunk of data is missing. And while I may be considering other services too much (really just SXM for me), it's definitely not just that, as I listen to Spotify quite a bit everyday. But interesting, nonetheless.

Yeah that's weird. Sounds like it's just crappy/lazy programming on their end. I see it all the time in my analytics work.

This finally got me curious enough to do some Googling, and apparently back in 2019 one of their Support people said that they cut off the tracking in October in order to give them time to assemble their data and slides (which makes no sense - it should be dynamically populated). That makes some sense, but it actually just makes me think it's even more inaccurate than that. For example, they said I listed for 6700 minutes this year - which would be roughly 22 minutes daily through October, if that were the cutoff. But I listen to at least one Podcast in Spotify - which they included in their metrics - every weekday, which would take up ~15 minutes daily on its own. Though, maybe they don't count Podcasts for minutes played specifically.
Either way, interesting data, but yeah, it's definitely fishy. I might start syncing to Last.FM again now that this has gotten me curious; they record your listening realtime across multiple services.
