Honestly, this is part of a broader trend of enshittification sweeping the Internet these days. It's not just spez, it's any SV bro from the current crop of technology companies. I think this is a lesson worth remembering for all of us who took the freedom and magic of the Internet for granted.
Absolutely. Cory Doctorow's Def Con 31 talk really nailed it. I've listened to it like 3 times. He is the person who coined the term "enshitification" and the talk describes what it is, how it happens, and some things we can do to prevent it. The Q&A at the end is also awesome.
