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

Embrace, extend and extinguish
We also discuss how naturally open technologies like the Fediverse can be susceptible to corporate takeovers, rugpulls and subsequent enshittification.

I don't either, honestly. But my partner is a Cortado fangirl so I'm learning to make it as best I can. Luckily I really like the smell, and I can steam a nice Chain Latte for myself on it.
how nice of you
