It's true and I saw it first hand at an airbnb with so so WiFi. My pops needed his football fix and managed to stream but the connection kept blurry or disconnect. Asked him why he was still using chrome; he even had firefox with uBlock Origin. Following my advice, closed chrome and sure enough, no video ads and shit fixed his connection problem.
Internet enshittification is real but we can fight it.
Web enshittification actually. The Internet itself still works mostly fine, apart from a few unfair peering disputes among the giants, and the Chinese and Russian disconnection efforts.
Why would you even say that? It just opens the door to an argument that doesnt exist.
"Help fight internet enshittification" is a better message.
Just my opinion, and likely neither of us would even see the difference in our life times, but for what its worth, i want to help fight the good fight, even if its something as minor as this mentality.
To me its like people making really bad arguments for worthwhile causes, it just feeds the trolls and makes the cause harder to achieve
