- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

Any examples? AFAIK they improved a lot, especially in Linux space which I am very grateful for. I wouldn't be using Linux if it wasn't for steam. Although there are still a lot of things to complain about but if it wasn't better before then it isn't enshiftification by definition.
I think you'd be hard pressed to find a marketplace that isn't enshitified in some way. Most are going to shove ads in your face which is shitty, but most people aren't going to recognize it as a bad thing because they're there to shop.
Right so no actual examples then?
And you can't say advertising because of course there's going to be adverts up for games sold on the platform. I think most people would argue that if you go into a store, and then see a sign in that store, for something that is sold in the store, that's not advertising, that's just signage.
The goal of advertising is to try to convince you that you want a product or a service. But if you are already in the store you've already made the decision that you want that product or service, so by definition you can't be advertised to at that point.
How is anybody supposed to be disagreeing with you you haven't said anything yet.
