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.

MODERATORS
The more info they have about you, the worse it gets.
And even if the company just uses your right to privacy just to make money through ads. You can be sure they will get hacked by people with even less morals.
They can use all that data to open a bank account on your name and commit tons of tax fraud.
Who do you think they will arrest? That is right, you.
And getting out of that will always cost you tons of time, effort and money. So good luck.
