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.

My piHole is the one thing that lets me use my phone without getting bombarded with ads. Best choice of my life. Set up Wireguard to VPN when out and about too.

Exactly. I can follow official guides but I'm a fairly experienced enthusiast. Official guides are just not written for non-techies. I never succeed by sending them to other people.
This is what people need. Slow guides with definitions of every single word explained gracefully
