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.

MODERATORS
Spotify is absolutely the best advertising that competing services like Tidal could ask for. For the same cost as current Spotify (11$/mo) you can pump to Tidal for the same cost and get HiFi already! Bonus addition: you loose the superfluous non-music content that's slowly taking over at Spotify.
