What happens when they reach the point of “enshittification”?

[–] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 78 points 1 year ago (2 children)

They don't have shareholders to please and don't seem to be hungry for money right now.

Once that changes, sure, they'll go downwards.

Word of advice for you, if you have this attitude towards everything you won't enjoy anything in life anymore.

It's why I pay for my proton mail. I don't want enshitification to occur.

It’s a fair question these days but I probably deserve the kick back. 😀

[–] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 1 year ago

Honestly, I don't even think it is a fair question. What about asking "when they reach enshittification" gives any options on the answer? They become shitty, like everything else.

I wish people stopped to throw that term around

It's been giving me semantic satiation for a while now.
