More #enshittification .. . #youtube won't let you watch #videos at other playback speeds without paying for Youtube Premium.
Like, I don't know how you can speedrun the ruination of a platform any faster.<…

Wow, #youtube no longer allows me to change the playback speed of videos unless I pay up. Is that feature turned off for everybody now or just for those of us who use an ad blocker?

Enshittification wasn't an accident.
It also wasn't inevitable.
This isn't the iron laws of economics at work, nor is it the great forces of history
#Enshittification was a choice:
Known individuals, in living memory, enacted policies that created the enshittogenic environment.
They created a world that encouraged tech companies to merge to monopoly,

Delightful 💩: dana boyd, Lee Vinsel & Cory Doctorow on #Enshittification
It feels odd that Cory assumes that platform things were good for a start. Still insightful.

Literal #enshittification of everything. As far as I can tell, it’s not April 1st today. https://boingboing.net/2025/10/23/kohler-toilet-camer…

39. Cory Doctorow: Enshittification - Granville Island Stage - Vancouver - Oct 23, 2025
EVENT DESCRIPTION At last, a word has been coined that encapsulates our modern era, that eloquently sums up the pressing issues of our times: Enshittification. The term—which creator Cory Doctorow describes as a diagnosis about the state of exploitative online services, and the disheartening digital world as a whole—resonated so strongly that the American Dialect Society named it the 2023 Word of the Year, and it was cited as an inspiration for the 2025 season of Black Mirror. With incisive…

"Meta’s business is both supporting and profiting from organized crime, and at 10% of its revenue, it’s also kind of dependent on it... I can find no analyst commentary on Meta making sixteen billion dollars on fraud, because it doesn’t matter to them"

Phew finally managed to track down a copy of “Enshittification” by @…
Was weirdly hard to find it in NYC today! I tried multiple bookstores and had to wonder around multiple floors of the Union Sq. Barnes and Noble to find a sole copy tucked away on a sociology shelf.
Not sure if I’m just too early, since I was looking around 1 pm on the day the book officially released, or if the bookstores are sleeping on it.
In either case - I have it and I’m delighted to be reading it!!

Well this explains all the creators suddenly getting community guidelines takedowns for harmful content. YouTube has a serious AI problem.

A good, insightful article from Rupert Goodwins (who still isn't on Fedi - why not?!) about the recent purchase of Arduino by Qualcomm and how it's definitely not a good thing.

I have not been following the oatmeal much in the last years. This one is pretty good and I thought it's interesting that he quit Instagram (I don't knew when) because they "block content from my followers unless I pay them large sums of money." ... Artists need to understand this. And Universities. And everybody. #enshittification

Maybe having "AI" doing any coding for you is a bad idea.

TBF, maybe it's just that M$ sucks at coding its own OS at this point.
