Physical media and one-time payment desktop software are the only enshittification-proof types of digital products left.
I used to love the Google Music app, which did nothing besides play my locally stored music. Then one day I opened it and it had turned into yet another storefront constantly using mobile data to refresh the carousel. Since then, auto-updates have been turned off.
I love being able to reject app updates. Once the app does what I want, updates can only make it worse.
