> Big tech products can't just keep getting shittier—can they? Well I think they can still get a lot shittier, but no. Eventually the "I could run an instance for myself and my neighbors and it would be better than this" line will dip below the enshittification trend line. Meanwhile, people are working on ways to avoid having their work be shackled to something that's destined to become less trustworthy over time (the critical dependency varies, but it's usually in there somewhere, it's wherever you get your "moat" from). So there's hope. The replacements have a chance at escaping the cycle. We gotta stop building things that control people and start building them because we actually want the outcomes that they make possible. Until we do that, the enshittification will continue.
