    Should someone tell Steve about adblock?

      Yes, but their point about how awful the website is without adblock is still valid.

      Gamers Nexus is making a point about what it’s like as a consumer. Obviously they know how to block ads, but they’re looking out for other people, not themselves

        I know you’re joking and referencing Linus, but you can consider it piracy and still be ok with doing it.

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.
