‘Enshittification’ is coming for absolutely everything::The term describes the slow decay of online platforms such as Facebook. But what if we’ve entered the ‘enshittocene’?

      If everyone who complained about ads in Prime and Netflix canceled their accounts, then Prime and Netflix would be motivated to remove their ads.

        The minute I got the prime notification I went and canceled immediately. And same with Netflix, I wish more people would do the same.

        Wouldn’t this also cause them to charge more to make up for lost paying customers? 🤔

          Certainly possible, but there is a limit to what they can charge before losing customers on price as well as on principle.

        I did for Prime.

        Netflix didn’t put ads in for me, since I was already on the “4K” plan. Didn’t they just throw in an even lower tier for their ad version?
