This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

You misunderstood the enshitification part.
- The thing was out before & not new.
- The sudden influx of new ppl possibly (almost always) came bcs of interests & opportunity of a company, but certainly that happened after it became popular.
- Op lost the ability to enjoy or be public about the interest, that is a loss (that happened bcs of random fuckery for profit).
- A lot of such things irrevocably change forever after fubared by monetisation or mass short-term popularity. So the actual thing & how one enjoys it might be changed forever/the old one non-existent anymore. (In anons case at the end only the general public knowledge changed for the worst & now prob just hides a bit that part of his life.)

Also why would you equate 'more people' with 'better' in the first place?
