To stop enshittification, we all need to chase away any attempt to capitalize on the internet and get back to the roots of preventing data scarcity. Anyone running an ad or promoting some product should be chased out. Their product stolen and copied and shared until these people know they're not welcome. It would have prevented all of the enshittification had pewdiepies and Joe Rogans and Mr beasts were treated as the time vampires they are. It's not just simple advertising that we could turn off. It turned into a massive machine that stole our data, built profiles, created digital addiction tools and tracked all our movements just to sell us things.
