    Meanwhile, No Man’s Sky is still regularly pushing out quality content for free 8 years after its (admittedly disastrous) launch.

    They gave me “free” money since I have the deluxe edition so I foolishly got this; the mission isn’t even good. Don’t be like me.

    ‘Voting with our wallet’ never stops this. AGPL, software freedom, does.

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.
