Almost every account and subscription service I have has pushed a TOS or privacy policy update in the last couple weeks. I remember this happening around the time the EU enacted their cookies/advertising laws about a decade ago. And obviously companies update independently from time to time. But this legitimately feels like a couple dozen emails from all different kinds of services all updating/changing things in response to some external influence or event. Anyone else have a similar experience and/or have any idea what have been the “cause”?

    Yes, it’s because of enshittification. Companies need to change their TOS to allow them to exploit you more monetise their core assets.
