Greed: a Short Story
(lemmy.world)
The phenomenon of online platforms gradually degrading the quality of their services, often by promoting advertisements and sponsored content, in order to increase profits. (Cory Doctorow, 2022, extracted from Wikitionary) source
We discuss how predatory big tech platforms live and die by luring people in and then decaying for profit.
We also discuss how naturally open technologies like the Fediverse can be susceptible to corporate takeovers, rugpulls and subsequent enshittification.
A "price update".
I got a price update coming for them. It's fucking zero.
I'd say I'd still the seven seas for it, but I can't think of any of their stuff I'd actually bother to nick...
They have some solid CW content like the Addams family on and similar. It's not good but it scratches an itch for 20-somethings being catty at each other.
I watched one episode of Wednesday and can only assume that whoever wrote it had never seen The Addams Family before. Genuinely awful. Felt like some Harry Potter knockoff they'd inexplicably turned into something the rights were cheap for...
Exactly, it's a CW show :)
I've never seen the original, though.
Agree with your last sentence; I don’t think anything they have on offer at the moment is even worth pirating - at least until the final season of Stranger Things is released!
