Here's my take on the #enshittification of internet technology over the 2010s, based on the word @pluralistic coined. I've added "developer enshittification" to the mix (see: React). cybercultural.com/p/enshittifiโฆ
However, I do end on a note of optimism: the decentralized web as represented by the fediverse, Mastodon and potentially Bluesky. "It's a new world for those who have chosen to leave the Enshittocene behind them. Won't you join us?"
The Enshittocene: How the Internet Got Worse in the 2010s
The 2010s was a period of the internet colonized by platforms, which caused 'enshittification' of web products. Users and developers both suffered, but are fighting back now through the decentralized web.Cybercultural

Marketing is deeply abused in our digital age. I'm tired of the manipulations, misinformation, and disinformation. On the otherhand I want to know when something I do like/need is available: such as new episodes of Star Trek, or soaps that don't include colours or fragrances that cause me to break out into itchy hives.
I've just stumbled across Trust Web Times which specialises in making people aware of abuses in marketing, as well as pointing out ways to market with integrity. I will have to dig further to see how I feel about this site. Nevertheless, some of their stuff is genuinely enlightening, like their articles about Adtech.
Lies Hurt You & Hold You Back: A Look at Lying in the Workplace
..."Harris considers white lies to be the most dangerous of all because although we imagine that we are telling these lies out of compassion for others, we rarely understand or anticipate their damage.
"This is because by lying, we deny those around us access to the best available information, and they, in turn, are then left to come to decisions or conclusions based on incorrect evidence."

How the Web of Science takes a step back
www.coalition-s.orgThe Web of Science, a major commercial indexing service of scientific journals operated by Clarivate, recently decided to remove eLife from its Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE).
"Web of Science de-listed eLife because the new publishing model can result in the publication of studies with 'inadequate' or 'incomplete' evidence ...
other journals, which use the traditional and confidential peer review model, remain indexed in the Web of Science even though some of the articles they publish also have inadequate or incomplete evidence. The difference is that they do not label these articles as such."

Please nobody do this (*) but I am curious what would happen if you said "the more we talk, the more I realise how much you have in common with Trump"
(*) I cannot imagine it could end well but that alone does not stop me being curious.
The *really clever people* at Discord now let users post with external apps on their accounts, and it's enabled by default.
And the result is...you guessed it, annoying to deal with spam.
I suggest disabling on your servers it to be safe.
