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.

Cant imagine making 30 k a year and having to pay even 1600 in taxes. This is saying it will increase that much.

Print, laminate and start ticking this up around your local town centre.

I, too, would like to know what is incorrect.

Nobody making less than 200k will see an increase in their federal taxes. In fact if the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act didnt get extended, you'd be far more likely to see an increase.

Is there something in there specifically i should be looking for?

Its all there, black and white. You wont find anything that matches this fabricated infographic.

The word "tax" shows up once and says nothing to what you are saying.

Lets put this another way: where does it say low and middle income taxes are increasing? It doesn't, therefore op is spreading misinformation.

The tarriffs bit is completely speculative. No one vnows that yet, and its not in the 2025 gop budget proposal. Federal income tax increases for middle and lower income americans are absolutely not being proposed. At the least this infographic is misleading.

Thank you, user C126, for so proudly and loudly declaring yourself as someone to be summarily ignored.
