EDIT: Enshittification, also known as platform decay, is a process in which two-sided online products and services decline in quality over time. Initially, vendors create high-quality offerings to attract users, then they degrade those offerings to better serve business customers, and finally degrade their services to both users and business customers to maximize short-term profits for shareholders.
Phones were still fun to mess with and hack back then. Now I just try to use my phone less overall. They’re all the same garbage gilded in fools gold.
