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.

is there a way to experience peertube that comes even close to youtube? i took a look at some instances and they're always like here's a page that looks like it was made in 1993 and only had videos of one dude.
Not that I've really found.
It's like lemmy before may last year - just weird
there are alternative apps to access peer tube instances, like for lemmy. even newpipe has support for one of the bigger ones
