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.

The MSPaint colouring in at the bottom so they had space to write real words is just perfect

[–] hilliard@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

They didn't even know how to use the color picker tool

“Hey, wanna go to parkiquaver?”
“What?”
“Parkiquaver, the gay club with the penis in the logo, instead of an i.”

I thought that was a dildo lmao

[–] darkdemize@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is it not?

[–] Fetus@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Everything's a dildo if you're brave enough.

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

looks at your car

... I'll give you $20 if you do it

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Did they really just paint over with a totally wrong color to put their slogan on it? How fricking lazy can you be?!

[–] Raptorox@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

Since they're using slop in the first place, I'd say unimaginably lazy

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s called irony, brah

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 3 points 1 year ago

What's ironic?

Seeing the Waze logo next to Facebook and Instagram is a bit odd too.

[–] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

they've been doing reviews for a while, just no one cares

[–] distantsounds@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

all the best foods are shaped like dicks

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I mean...

[–] veeesix@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 year ago

Judging by the faded colours, they probably cheaped out on the print as well.

[–] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

My brain hurts.

[–] andybytes@programming.dev 1 points 10 months ago

Omgawd so gross

[–] Oka@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Oka@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] RideAgainstTheLizard@slrpnk.net 7 points 1 year ago

I don't think you're saying much

[–] 4oreman@lemy.lol 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't get it.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They put Ai slop on the light box to advertise their place.
