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.

Is this for individuals or households?

If everyone collectively stopped paying taxes, this problem gets fixed pretty easily. As it is, I have no plans to pay any more into the Dipshit in Chief fund from this moment forward.

America will get my money when America can show that it can be responsible with it.
