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.

Ok, but that design could be an idea for a company named "Parking 95" where the G is a 9 in the same font. Just imagine Parkin95 with the 95 in red and slightly bigger than the other text.

Yes it's slop, but it's not a bad idea for an artist to take inspiration from.

I'm not sure the 'I' dildo is such a good idea.

Of course not, but that's not what I'm saying.

I don't think you're saying much
