Yeah it was a short PSA for average people, not power users. If it wasn’t funny a lot of people lose interest. It only spends the first 25% on the unrelated comedy bit. And the real point is to get people to the site at the end to learn more.
Upon further reflection, I think my previous comment may have been a little too harsh on it.
But I still think that, to be truly "excellent," it could've made its point without muddying/confusing the definition of enshittification.
Yeah excellent might have been a little too much praise, but I haven’t seen any other public PSAs trying to point out to people what’s happening to online services and doing a decent job of it
