Thanks for posting

It is interesting how, no matter how much technology changes, human nature doesn’t and history repeats itself

I think that's why "enshittification" is so aggravating to me. We've seen time and time again that users revolt from sites that are cluttered, busy, and stuffed with ads in favor of things that are clean and text based (Digg 4 to Reddit, Myspace to Facebook) but somehow the same people proud of themselves for their clean interfaces end up trying to convince everyone that "actually spam is fine." Die a hero or live a villain, etc., but I can't for a moment believe anyone is proud of themselves when stuffing every square inch of a website with bullshit and trying to extract every penny. They know shit looks like shit because they, too, don't like sites that look like this.
