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.

The MSPaint colouring in at the bottom so they had space to write real words is just perfect

[–] hilliard@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago

nope, still not going to pay an artist

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

They didn't even know how to use the color picker tool

“Hey, wanna go to parkiquaver?”
“What?”
“Parkiquaver, the gay club with the penis in the logo, instead of an i.”

I thought that was a dildo lmao

[–] darkdemize@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Is it not?

[–] Fetus@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Everything's a dildo if you're brave enough.

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

looks at your car

... I'll give you $20 if you do it

[–] distantsounds@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

all the best foods are shaped like dicks

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I mean...

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 15 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Did they really just paint over with a totally wrong color to put their slogan on it? How fricking lazy can you be?!

[–] Raptorox@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago

Since they're using slop in the first place, I'd say unimaginably lazy

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space -2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It’s called irony, brah

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 3 points 2 months ago

What's ironic?

[–] Zedstrian@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Seeing the Waze logo next to Facebook and Instagram is a bit odd too.

[–] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

they've been doing reviews for a while, just no one cares

[–] veeesix@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 months ago

Judging by the faded colours, they probably cheaped out on the print as well.

[–] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

My brain hurts.

[–] andybytes@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago

Omgawd so gross

[–] Oka@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Ok, but that design could be an idea for a company named "Parking 95" where the G is a 9 in the same font. Just imagine Parkin95 with the 95 in red and slightly bigger than the other text.

Yes it's slop, but it's not a bad idea for an artist to take inspiration from.

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm not sure the 'I' dildo is such a good idea.

[–] Oka@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Of course not, but that's not what I'm saying.

[–] RideAgainstTheLizard@slrpnk.net 7 points 2 months ago

I don't think you're saying much

[–] 4oreman@lemy.lol 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I don't get it.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They put Ai slop on the light box to advertise their place.
