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.

You're going to need to enlighten us some because LiGNUTs will call just about anything malware. -But yes; there is a malware 'issue'. It's far from how dangerous and chaotic F-Droid is. The Play Store is still objectively the safest place to get Android apps.
The stuff that slips through gets quickly removed, they block millions of attempts, and are tightening policies.
Would be interested in your technical analysis of current F-Droid security vs current Play Store with examples.
No you wouldnt be interested. You are are a loud mouth dipshit. Nobody is going to take a wierdo who makes up names to call people seriously.
I do like responding to trolls, I dont know why. Shouldn't feed you I know.
