      Recommended for you: posts from Trump.

      I still use twitter sometimes for porn, and it’s I’m really getting ridiculous because they inject Trump and Musk spam after porn.

          My conspiracy theory is that that’s the goal. To either traumatized perverts forever, or at least make them fetishise those idiots

    Surely people can’t be surprised by this? When I occasionally look at FB now, it’s probably 80% sponsored ads or follow this type “posts”

    with the platform officially launching on July 5, 2023

    1 year, 6 months, 21 days excluding the end date

    So it takes about a year and a half for the true colours to shine through.

      Zuck said from the beginning that advertising would come when they reached N number of users. I wanna say he said billion, but I’m not interested in any of their platforms and never really cared either way.

    How can I choose to block threads? threads.ruin.io and threads.kyzune.com show up when I search for it, but are those the actual thing?

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.
