Here we discuss about how the lifecycle of VC backed big tech platforms and the ad business model has centralized and ruined the internet for regular people to favor advertisers and finally the platform itself.

Also how we can leverage the Fediverse to make the internet a better place to exist overall.

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.
