So they’re not charging anything?

Sorry to hijack your comment, but seeing that “my grandchildren are in my daughters’ ovaries post” right above this one and your comment made me wonder:

Why is gas so damn cheap in the US while saying “healthcare is expensive” is a giant understatement.

Compared with Europe, where gas prices are regulated (and gas stations still seem to be doing just fine to the point that new ones keep popping up around where I live at an astounding rate) while it’s the healthcare that is subsidised and made availiable to all.

How come? Why aren’t gas companies in the US be as greedy as hospitals and pharma there? Why aren’t European gas stations few and far between, continuing to barely hold on, fail and ultimately closeleaving Europe gasless?

Yes. Yes it did.

No, they did not report that in media.

but not the misuse of public content

Is that an admission that they don’t own the content others posted on their site?

The nicest part is that according to my (admittedly very limited) knowledge of ancient greek, you’d read Οώθ as “Oof”

About thinness: I also like my phones bendy and snappy (iPhone 6), as well as exploding batteries (Galaxy Note 7 or 10, I don’t remember the exact model tbh).

Or you have to ‘hold it right’ (OG iPhone).

These were all huge issues that could be fixed without sacrificing the thinness.

Thinness shouldn’t be used as an excuse for otherwise shitty phones, since it’s clearly a non-sequitur.

Yeah. ‘Decay’ has a natural whiff to it, while ‘enshittification’ reeks of it being actively made that way.

Thanks, never heard of it & will switch to it myself!

Just as short and not as inappropriate.

Honest question: What are the alternstives?

I agree that enshittification is a, well, shitty term, but I know obly it to describe the problem at hand.

Alternstives I think of are walled gardens, collapse of the internet as we know it, lockdown of social media sites, etc. - none of them all that simple and miss the point enshittification has.

Good riddance, then just don’t.

Worse than Bing as of late.
