‘Enshittification’ is coming for absolutely everything::The term describes the slow decay of online platforms such as Facebook. But what if we’ve entered the ‘enshittocene’?

    If everyone who complained about ads in Prime and Netflix canceled their accounts, then Prime and Netflix would be motivated to remove their ads.

      The minute I got the prime notification I went and canceled immediately. And same with Netflix, I wish more people would do the same.

      Wouldn’t this also cause them to charge more to make up for lost paying customers? 🤔

        Certainly possible, but there is a limit to what they can charge before losing customers on price as well as on principle.

      Fr the longest time, I got Prime because of Prime. The ebooks and videos were just an included bonus. The bonus going to shit doesn’t change what the original decision was based on.

      Prime video has been on this road for a long time, as videos with ads took o paver more and more of its Home Screen. It got more and more annoying clicking past the clutter of “FreeVee” videos to find stuff I wanted to watch, but I guess it’s all stuff to click past now
