It has too many separate barely-related ideas about some barely-related websites with a sprinkle of AI.
Take the example of Reddit. Yes, third party apps were effectively banned except for those who want to deal with paying a monthly fee.
As someone who used to use one of those third party apps, one of its main benefits was to avoid advertisements. Reddit is a company that has never turned a profit. I’m not sure what person expects them to keep allowing people to access their API directly and cut out advertisements.
When we bust out the word “enshittification” I feel like all logic gets thrown out the window and it turns into sensationalism. A Reddit that isn’t profitable is a Reddit that will die anyway, regardless of how enshittified it is.
The Internet isn’t only made up of a handful of bad websites bad corporate leadership which are on the decline, it’s still an incredibly diverse place where new ideas come to fruition.
