I have a hunch that in the terrifyingly near future, we're going to see the internet absolutely dominated by enshitification.
Don't get me wrong, it's bad now ...because like the frogs in hot water, we collectively just tolerate changes for the worse. But it used to be small incremental changes over a long period.
Then this Musk asshole comes along, looks at the frogs ever so slowly cooking.... and cranks the stove to max, pisses in the frog-pot, supplements the heating element with a welding torch, and flips the frogs off as he pours gasoline all over the kitchen.
And the frogs JUST FUCKING TAKE IT.
What message does that send to the rest of the internet?
It has been predicted for years that the Internet would split and I'm all for it at this point.
That's an interesting take. I'm kind of curious what you mean by the split. It seems like it's already split a few times, and I sort of see Lemmy as another split. I think the biggest craziness that will get thrown into the mix is serious amounts of AI content, which I know people are tired of hearing about now, but it's a huge deal. I think people are underestimating its power.
