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.

Yeah. I don’t really get it. People constantly bitch and complain about YouRube, but the moment you suggest they just stop using it, they freak the fuck out and lose their minds.
Got downvoted into the dirt for suggesting a while ago in another one of the million posts about how YouRube is fucking everyone over.
It’s Stockholm syndrome. They’d prefer to whine and bitch to anyone that will listen, but they’re not willing to do what’s necessary to stop it from happening.
