Just the latest in a wave of companies that seem to be looking for ever-more scummy ways to take advantage of their customers in search of the Holy Dollar.

This is hardly a comprehensive list, there's so many recently, but this is just what I could remember off the top of my head:

  • Wizards of the Coast
  • Adobe
  • X-Rite/Pantone/Danaher
  • Monotype
  • BMW
  • Netflix
  • Reddit

Add Google/YouTube to that list as well! Google is enshittifying both Chrome and YouTube to prevent ad blocking.

Evernote. Mentioning adding AI is code for incoming price hikes and limitations.

  • Wizards of the Coast

The OGL stuff and the Pinkerton incident, right?

  • Adobe

They've been pretty shitty for a while now. What have they done recently? (I don't use any of their stuff.)

  • X-Rite/Pantone/Danaher

Don't even know who these guys are.

  • Monotype

Something font-related?

  • BMW

This is the heated seat subscription, right? Anything else I'm not aware of?

  • Netflix

Account sharing?

  • Reddit

No explanation needed there.

Pantone suddenly decided to assert copyright and licensing to the literal names of colors in a way the broke art files going back decades.

Add sony to that list for the recent ps plus price hike and google for their new invasive ad tracking feature in chrome and their youtube ad changes.
