Something to keep in mind if you’re thinking of buying off Facebook Marketplace.

    “Oh you got one of our machines for cheaper than we sell it? Well, now you have to pay $95 just to use it!”

    Fuck these companies.

      Well they could have gone the Tesla route and said you can’t resell it at all. Still a dick move but it could be worse.

        Tesla allows resale I thought, you just forfeit all your DLC, killing the resale value

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.
