We do not ask for this capitalist Internet. We were good at year 2.000 where most of the content were made by and for fans because they love what they were doing.

Welcome to Enshittification
A community for everyone who misspelt it as enshitification.
"I the onceler felt sad as I watched them all go, but business is business and business must grow, regardless of crummies in tummies you know."
This is your space to document the decay, demise, and destruction of the tech world as we know it. Share stories, articles, and firsthand experiences that capture the ongoing decline of once-celebrated platforms, services, and companies in the late stage capitalist landscape.
From monopolistic corporate shifts to anti-user updates and the relentless pursuit of profit over quality—if it’s broken, bloated, or just plain bad, it belongs here. We’re here to spotlight the moves that make the tech world worse, one piece of enshittification at a time.
Guidelines
🔹 Stay on Topic: Only post content about the decline of tech products, platforms, or companies.
🔹 Quality Content: Give some context when posting links or articles to drive quality discussions.
🔹 Respectful Discussion: Critique companies, crappy tech, and capital, not community members.
🔹 Positive Monday: The first Monday of every month is reserved for positive content only that shows enshittification isn't inevitable.
Join us to expose the changes that ruin the things we once loved and to discuss what comes next in a tech world gone wrong.

I think I encounter at least one of these phrases daily. The internet is so fucking gross.
It's all so tiring, honestly...
I just stopped, I only use non shit stuff nowadays. It feels amazing.
This is why I'm angry and weirdly into Cybersecurity practices.
I like it when I see a black box saying "We're sorry we can't show this content in your country" - I'm like "WTF? You're sorry you can't annoy me? I don't even want to see your lousy ad, let alone you being sorry about content only you care about!"

I'm sorry, but this is kinda epic.
I am getting tired with all of this ad nonsense. I just want to watch a video, ffs

Yeah, it's not looking great right now. For spotify on pc I use blockify, which makes the ads silent and about one second long. It does just kind of break whenever this one ad tries to play, but you just have to reload the site. For the visual ads on pc, I use ublock origin, which works well. On mobile, I use this app called newpipe instead of youtube. Patreons and memberships are so that the creators get more money. Some of them need the money, some of them obviously don't. Ai features and dogshit updates are everywhere, and I hate it. I don't personally have any workarounds for them. Shows and movies can just be pirated using one of the sites on yarrlist and an adblocker. Only being able to play games with wifi, yeah, that's pretty annoying. The account stuff sucks ass. Things are in fact, shit.

I work with a guy in his 70s who has gotten his credit card or bank card info stolen at least 5 times in the last year. He simply doesn't have the digital education to identify a spam email or a scam call from a real one. It's all just too overwhelming for him.
I got one call from the coast guard asking me if I had a package from Mexico coming in. He tried to sound aggressive and had an Indian accent. Total scam of course.
I just was aggressive right back. Like have you opened the package? If so, what's in it? Money? Cause I'll take that! He keeps pressing me for what's in the package. I said, you tell me. I'm sure you opened it already? Just hangs up. Believe nothing you get from a phone call and always verify multiple ways.

Tailscale pointed to nextdns (or just plain nextdns) with blocklists enabled is pretty effective for those wanting to go that route. Its made my online experience so much better. You get similar results to pihole but quicker to set up with less to manage.
I know tailscale has a pretty positive image right now, but it is also yet another company you just have to trust with your data. I am not comfortable using their services, it just shifts the issues from one company to another.
