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.

(Verse 1)
I woke up this mornin', gazed out at the sky
Saw them clouds rollin' in, like a lonely goodbye
Over Siberia's vast lands, where the wild things roam free
I felt my heart gettin' lost, like a drifter on the breeze
(Chorus)
Clouds over Siberia, driftin' by like tears
Makin' me think of distant memories, and the years that pass in fears
Rollin' hills and endless skies, where the wild things never die
Clouds over Siberia, takin' my heart to the other side
(Verse 2)
I saw a plane flyin' low, leavin' a contrail behind
A reminder of the world, beyond this vast expanse I find
But as I gazed up at them clouds, I felt my spirit start to soar
Like a bird on wings of freedom, I was seekIN' more
(Chorus)
Clouds over Siberia, driftin' by like tears
Makin' me think of distant memories, and the years that pass in fears
Rollin' hills and endless skies, where the wild things never die
Clouds over Siberia, takin' my heart to the other side
(Bridge)
In the stillness of the night, when the stars shone bright and bold
I felt a connection form, between this land and my soul
Like the whispers of the wind, carryin' secrets of the past
I knew that I was home, where the clouds and wild things would forever last
(Chorus)
Clouds over Siberia, driftin' by like tears
Makin' me think of distant memories, and the years that pass in fears
Rollin' hills and endless skies, where the wild things never die
Clouds over Siberia, takin' my heart to the other side
(Outro)
Now I'm ridin' through the night, under them clouds so high
Feelin' alive, feelin' free, with the wind in my hair and the stars shinin' bright
I'll keep on driftin', like a leaf on a stream
With the clouds over Siberia, bein' my wildest dream.
