I phased it out quickly last year by cancelling.

Me too.

I’m sure there was stuff that I’d enjoy, but finding it was near impossible.

At the end of the occasional thing I’d watch to the end, an irrelevant ad for something else jumps up. Kin annoying.

I’ve been meaning to cancel but i don’t want to leave my wife empty handed. I barely watch anything on netflix myself and didn’t have an issue with €8 up until €11, but now it’s beyond what i’m willing to pay.

I imagine that’s quite a common situation.

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.
