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.

Cant imagine making 30 k a year and having to pay even 1600 in taxes. This is saying it will increase that much.

Did I say that was fine?

In a game theory situation, One actor that obeys laws vs. another that doesn't tends to eliminate the one that does obeys laws.

so even hypothetically, we can't take the high road as it leads to a cliff.

and don't be so naive to think the world peace and order we enjoy wasn't paid for with blood of our ancestors. The rules you hold dearly now didn't protect your ancestors when they sought to do what's right.

Violence is the hallmark of peace.

Have fun storming the castle when people can’t even organize protests of any significance.
