Enshittification, also known as crapification and platform decay, is a pattern 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 users and business customers to maximize profits for shareholders.

Notice how it doesn’t, by definition, cover making UI changes that a particular user doesn’t like.

Put it in perspective, it’s merely a fresh coat of paint. It’s like calling enshittification because a CSS file doesn’t load.

Yeah

A million times this. But now the backend is done, hopefully mobile isn’t that far off.

It’s just that someone at some point is just casting their TV screen/stream. Some of the more professional ones will cut away from the adverts and show filler, but for the most part, they don’t have time for that during live events.

Before matches. Half-time. After matches. With some streams they’ll make the match small to advertise shit. Especially the South African streams.

Thanks for sharing. Was like pulling a tooth but we got there in the end.

Even when I yo-ho-ho I see ads. I was genuinely curious about what this person was on about but they don’t actually seem interested in having a discussion or imparting knowledge 😔

Even that’s not ad-free

How have you achieved that?

Ad-free streaming?

These are super sexy changes. Finally we’re seeing some progress in Android again.
