I was just talking about this yesterday.

My wife has a top of the line "remarkable" with upgraded storage space, she's grandfathered into that option, which is no longer available. it's now entirely monthly subscriptions, she wouldn't have had the opportunity if she weren't an early adopter.

We used to swear by "never buy iteration 1 of a generation" but today it seems that if a product is going to be successful, it's going to get degraded in iteration 2.

Textbook enshittification. Now you have to take a chance on something being good and the company sticking around, and buy in before it gets on the radar of investors.
