They’re not even hiding the enshittification strategy. They’re practically teaching you the principles up front.

“First we trap you, then we exploit you. Duh.”

Well, this was the Facebook origin story, so anyone on Threads deserves it.

Is it enshittification if it's shit from the start?

[–] EvilBit 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I guess you can always make it shittier?

I never understood the appeal of Threads anyway. Like, who leaves Xitter because it’s toxic garbage and goes to something owned by Meta, who practically invented this particular flavor of toxic garbage?
