It's bizarre it was even removed in the first place. I hate the enshittification of the internet.

Seriously, and you know it's purely the work of the executives and business managers, cause no developer would ever think it makes sense to remove functionality just because.

This is what happens in capitalist markets, and especially publicly traded companies, when your market share has reached saturation and there is no natural profit growth, you have to start paywalling currently free features/content to continue the quarterly profits.

I mean devil's advocate here, what do they do with social media in a socialist market?

Lemmy and kbin were created in a capitalist market. So was linux and the rest of the foss concept.

I thought people loved watching part1, part2 and part4, as suggested by youtube. I'm shocked! :D

They probably saw that it barely got used compared to the other two options (which makes sense) and then probably decided to remove it to free up UI space or some BS.

Like just because something doesn't get used a lot, doesn't mean it's not valuable/useful in the cases when it is being used...

Our A/B testing shows that fire extinguishers are used less often and generate less revenue than gumball machines. Therefore, we have removed all fire extinguishers to make room for more gumball machines.
