Services that create a year in review weeks beforehand (e.g. #Spotify #Unwrapped or #Strava #YearInSport), are short-changing you.

No one asked for an 11 months in review.

⚠️ .io domain likely being phased-out (as were .cs & .yu) — 7 suggested steps
1. Avoid buying new #dotIO domains
2. Run a .io service? Make & publicize a transition plan
