the old crowd is still going strong and have been proven largely correct because what they/we were really against was going from a "you own this software" model to a "perpetual licensing" model with price hikes, lock-in, and everything becoming a service.

it's not completely enshittified, there are lots of great cloud-based services. some long-term, some at various stages of the enshittification curve.

same with AI. it doesn't all suck, and it won't all suck. but a lot/most of it does and will absolutely suck and it will enshittify many things.
