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.

Hole in screen is more screen with a hole. Alternative is less screen and no hole. I'd rather have the top with battery, time, wifi and a hole than lose the entire top .25 cm.
And most use those lenses. People don't think when they pinch zoom that the phone is automatically switching between lenses.
Or no front camera at all, which sounds like the best solution to me.
And meh, just give me one camera for some simple photos. No matter how many cameras they add, in my price class they all suck donkey balls anyway.
