    You keep using that word ‘enshitification’ I do not think it means what you think it means…

    At least, not with a 100% hit rate.

      Probably they took what most avg user would see. Android? We have custom roms. AI Tools (assuming all of them?) Not even close.

      But still find it hilarious that OP even have to post the correction.

        We barely have custom roms, and they’re almost exclusively for pixel devices these days. Even new OnePlus phones have no custom rom support because OnePlus stopped releasing the MSM tool that’s needed for any custom development. Til though that incidentally the OnePlus 11 does have some custom roms because the MSM tool for it was leaked, but nothing else released after the 9 has any custom rom development

    Not all subscription based services are malicious. Case in point: Bitwarden is incredibly cheap (10€ per year) and is the best password manager I have ever used. Also services that need constant upkeep costs, such as your carrier, ISP, perhaps even a VPS (I use Hetzner for that), have simply no way to be one-time payments.

      There was some drama recently with Bitwarden. They sorted it out now but it nearly became enshitified.

        Eh, everything points to a mistake. Bitwarden not only rectified it ASAP but also made the switch to GPLv3. The latter is not just something you do to please people, you need to understand the legal ramifications it can have on your business, so it very likely was a change that’s been discussed before all of this.

        I tried keepass, but the autofill is subpar at best. Also, the syncing is a bit hard to set up and often fails because of conflicts.

    How have macOS (its correct name) and iOS been enshittified? As a daily driver of both I haven’t seen anywhere near the level of advertising and privacy violations on them as I’ve read about on other platforms.

    Chromium can’t be enshittified. It’s open source, anyone can fork it if they don’t llike what Google did with it.

        Brave, Opera and Vivaldi managed to bypass that. Their adblockers still work.

          By using a flag for the enterprise release. Once that gets removed, they’d have to maintain the MV2 code themselves. Good luck with that
