All problems are user's own. Yes enshittification sucks. You're free to disconnect as much as you can.

Wrong attitude. Only atomization and further exploitation lies that way. The solution is to get vocal and demand higher standards.

Yeah you're not gonna get that from corpos who won't even need you for much longer. Once AI replaces your job, they'll also replace you as a customer because you'll have nothing, and they will simply only target the whales (rich). Even now the poor's best chance is to be entertaining so bored rich people give them money on YT/Twitch, between all the shock content and mukbangs it's just a less exciting version of gladiator arenas.

Everything will become like an F2P game, where whales make all the money, and the rest are there to be flexed on, like dating apps where men roll dice for a chance at a woman but they'll never get it unless they pay, letting the paying dunk on the poor. It's very transparently a casino.

It's the same sort of gender-specialized money extraction they've been doing from us through the beauty market, they just found how to do it for men.

I've been saying this for ages but I'm by far not the only one anymore https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYB0SVTGRj4

Or we could demand change to this entire system and take humanity down a very different, much brighter path to gay luxury space socialism but nobody wants to. Guess boring cyberpunk it is.
