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.

Oh, I see you choose not to buy the Forever Mouse. That's ok, that's why we at Logitech created the Pay As You Go Mouse. It's the mouse for those who prefer the freedom to start and stop using it any time.
Just buy your mouse and connect it to the Logitech Store (valid email and credit card required). Purchase just what you need, bundles start at $9.99 for 1,000 left clicks, or $19.99 for 5,000 if you want the best deal. Like to wheel scroll? Just $5.99 for 50,000 pixels of glorious scroll. And be sure to stock up on right clicks - just $4.99 for 500, $7.99 for 1,000 or $9.99 for 1,750.
And as always, Logitech puts customers first: no cost to move your mouse pointer.
