What is enshittification?

The phenomenon of online platforms gradually degrading the quality of their services, often by promoting advertisements and sponsored content, in order to increase profits. (Cory Doctorow, 2022, extracted from Wikitionary) source

The lifecycle of Big Internet

We discuss how predatory big tech platforms live and die by luring people in and then decaying for profit.

Embrace, extend and extinguish

We also discuss how naturally open technologies like the Fediverse can be susceptible to corporate takeovers, rugpulls and subsequent enshittification.

Getting apps outside the App Store is trivial. Even unsigned apps.

There are better things to be mad at Apple about.

You're on Enshitification trying to argue stuff is "good actually."

It hasn’t been good since they bought SoundJamMP and got rid of the Eclipse vizualizer.
