What is enshittification?
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
The lifecycle of Big Internet
We discuss how predatory big tech platforms live and die by luring people in and then decaying for profit.
Embrace, extend and extinguish
We also discuss how naturally open technologies like the Fediverse can be susceptible to corporate takeovers, rugpulls and subsequent enshittification.

I'm voting for kdenlive. And krita for image creation, I use both (although my wife uses the tiktok editor whatever it's called on her phone and her videos are great, so there's that..)
*capcut it's called capcut apparently the free version is pretty good although I dunno if it works on desktop
Not sure why everyone keeps on using Capcut on Android other than to stay under Bytedance's ecosystem. In my experience InShot works much better and is much friendlier. For better results it's worthwhile to just wait and use decent desktop software though. Smartphone apps should be a last resort.
