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
We discuss how predatory big tech platforms live and die by luring people in and then decaying for profit.
We also discuss how naturally open technologies like the Fediverse can be susceptible to corporate takeovers, rugpulls and subsequent enshittification.
Asian cars have their own share of problems. Hyundai is well known for having horrible support, such as refusing to do repairs because a steel plate is scuffed (reported on by Louis Rossman) and delaying repairs because they're using the available parts for new vehicles first (reported on by Technology Connections).
Similarly for NA manufacturers: Chevy had issues with their Bolt EV batteries, and majorly bungled the recall, in some cases taking years to replace them and telling customers "just park it outside in case it catches fire."
Tesla has been accused of a whole bag of scummy tactics, fudging data and blaming customers in order to weasel out of warranty repairs.
