As long as there’s no ads I don’t really care about the price. I’ll never watch ad TV as long as I live. Even though I have prime I pirate those shows now.

Yup. It seems crazy to me now that I used to pay for cable and 8-9 minutes of a 30 minute TV show was ads.

What kills me is that cable was actively promoted as “TV without ads” when it was new (see: HBO).

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.
