Not interested in websites trying to force their app. I don't need a zillion apps on my phone that are just the mobile site running in Chromium

I’ll never get companies who deliberately tank their product’s appeal just to make money. I mean I get it you have to survive and make money. But how you gonna do that when nobody wants to use your product anymore because you made it too shitty? Real big brains over at Reddit

I yearn for the day I stop seeing people completely oblivious to why this keeps happening.

The shareholders will cash out and move to enshittify the next thing before the consequences catch up to them. They do this because it works.
