Oh my. This is very fun, and just wonderful in a lot of ways. (It's much gentler and funnier than the preview makes it look)
The maker of this excellent video is also on Mastodon here: @bennjordan

@hollie@social.coop absolutely loved this video! Excited to see @bennjordan@mastodon.social here! VERY EXCITED! 😁 Such a great video. Thanks Benn! Keep up the amazing videos. If you ever wanna try Peertube, I have an instance, or I can recommend some or even help you set up your own. 😁

@ozoned @bennjordan Unfortunately it looks like he's not on anymore? As in, his last post is a couple years old I think. But maybe he'll see this and come back. :)
This vid led me to his YT channel, which popped up this, which echoes very precisely everything @pluralistic has been reporting in #Enshittification et al:

But they're sure trying! (Damn are they trying!)
I dunno, I kinda wanna be confident of what replaces it. I for one am not on board with technofeudalism or digital sharecropping....
@cavyherd That's an excellent video. Is there a follow-up on what we should do about it? Or do we just have to wait so long people suffer enough to start killing billionnaires and blowing up datacentres, forcing the arm of politicians to regulate and restore the protections and guardrails that are currently being eroded? @hollie @bennjordan @pluralistic

A good start would probably be reading @pluralistic 's book Enshittification. •Especially• if you are resident outside of the US. (He also has numerous talks out there on YT, if you're not up to reading the whole book.) I haven't read it personally (I've been following his blog for a few years, so I feel I'm reasonably up to speed?) but I gather he has some solid recommendations for actions to take.

@cavyherd @tokyo_0 @hollie @bennjordan @pluralistic
His #39c3 talk is on YT, on his own channel and on the official CCC channel. Both videos are ad-free.
And it's free on the official CCC media website.
