I can't tolerate ads any longer. Ublock Origin + Privacy Badger plugins in my browser assure me that I'll almost never see ads on any of my systems. I just plug a laptop into my TV and stream from pirate sites.

I just can't tolerate any more loud, invasive, manipulative garbage being forced into my eyeballs by every single screen. You can't even buy your way out of ads on streaming services now. Everything is an advertisement.

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.
