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.

Glad i could help! It's been a godsend since someone here told me about it too

Pc phone and tablet works great. I've heard mention of a smart tv version but i don't have experience with that

Stremio on LG TV with webOS works pretty well. Definitely worth a shot.
