When I think about how the old, good internet turned into the enshitternet, I imagine a series of small compromises, each seemingly reasonable at the time, each contributing to a cultural norm of making good things worse, and worse, and worse.

    It would be nice if a monopoly would lead to the user getting the best possible product, but that is unfortunately not the case. Companies rise and fall through the enshittification and other companies have the opportunity to fill this gap. There will always be someone to fill the gaps. And is that so bad when companies only have a limited life span and new companies get a chance and bring in fresh air?
