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.

MODERATORS
I mean, with any social media that feeds you content according to a non-disclosed algorithm, can you ever be sure what you're looking at isn't an ad? (If it's not content from someone you know irl)
It's basically all ads if it's not someone you know. That's why I've never understood why people have like 1000 friends on Facebook and Instagram. I don't want anyone I don't know in person appearing on my timeline on those sites. But meta forced it upon me anyways, so I just stopped using the sites.
Instagram are ads and influencer ads.
Nothing worth looking at, i'm just there for the near porn that gets thrown on there.
I love titties man x'D
