If one uses Spotify instead of a personal music collection one controls, this is what one gets. If one uses Facebook, Google or similar, this is what one gets.
I read about 1/3rd of the piece until I was sure that not a single one of the problems described concerns me. Because I don’t use Sonos, I don’t use Spotify and every other shitty service described as enshittified in this text.
I feel sorry for the technologically poor, every single sod who totally relinquishes control of most of their digital life, in a time when more and more of our daily live becomes digital, to people they know are out to get them. I will never understand it.
Sure, that’s why I self-host or use trusted services from people I actually know for EVERYTHING I can, not just the stuff that’s too awful to accept. I can’t be bothered with being disappointed and jump ships yet again.
