The Enshittification

When I think about how the old, good internet turned into the enshitternet, I imagine a series of small compromises, each seemingly reasonable at the time, each contributing to a cultural norm of making good things worse, and worse, and worse.
This is a long post, but it's well-formatted and worth reading.
When I say "fuck capitalism," this is what I mean. It's also good to have solid documentation for something I've been lowkey upset about for the past two years, which is that Google doesn't really work anymore.
