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.

If you're interested, Qobuz has a free trial to their streaming subscription.
They don't have as good an interface as others or good recommendations, but the library is pretty good. Besides some more obscure stuff, they have everything I love.
And if you're interested in keeping stuff offline, there's a few Python scripts that use their API to download the high quality files. Makes it pretty trivial to make a library of offline, high-res music.
