Hard agree. It does feel like we're entering an age where that may start to shift, though. Well, not so much a shift in the "mainstream", but it feels like we're starting to see more and more parallel products and services that have anti-enshittification built in. And I think that's our best path forward, all of us who care should work towards a parallel ecosystem that cuts these practices out as much as we can.

And be vocal about it! People are usually surprised in how I run services. Many many people won't be able to, but many people can, so let them know they don't have to be locked into paying for services.

For example "ugh Google, I hate paying for drive every month"

What do you use it for?

Oh just backups really.

Why not just an external hard drive then, or there are more expandable options out there.

Oh yeah, I forgot about those... Maybe I should look into them again...
