    if things continue more and more towards enshitification, I do care, I hope it doesn’t happen

    Inevitable I’m afraid and quite far progressed in many industries. The sad part is that it doesnt even matter if we refuse their product. There are more than enough people willing to keep paying them billions.


  • I’ve progressed quite far in the technical science part of my job. I’m at the top end of the graph and encouraging my junior staff to simplify their language and message. Some things absolutely need technical terms, but they don’t need to use overly complicated words to say “this has moved up” or “this thing is bad”. More often meaning gets lost in using euphemisms instead of being clear about the message.

    I’ve moved up the management role as well and really can’t bring myself to move from the bottom end of the meme graph. Management really has its own language so they can say lots of words in meetings with very little meaning. We’re in the business of doing shit…are we going to do shit or not?

    If that happens: Don’t watch shit and certainly don’t pay for shit.

    Even if nothing good is made for years, I guarantee there are millions of hours of undiscovered movie and series content for you to find in older releases. These companies are going to consolidate more and more, and will churn out sequels, spin offs, low effort movies, AI trash and easy cash-grabs. We need to not watch that shit and let these companies die. Pick the indie movies. Pick better quality older stuff. Wait for however long it takes for the industry to get over its unacceptable enshitification.

    Games have the same problem. It is your responsibility to not pay for this micro transaction hell.









  • It’s a bit of a cultural thing in some ways. A bit of a privilege/necessity thing as well.

    I would find it unimaginable to pay my parents rent, charge them rent or charge my kids rent. We’ve never struggled to survive financially. My parents never even held me to doing chores, etc. I can see the logic of everyone living together contributing to the household(through money or chores or whatever). But my area of upbringing and family always treated childhood as immensely protected and solely for learning and playing(same for my peers, no matter how well off or poor they were). The lesson was always there to look after yourself…so as soon as I left home at 18, I had no problem with doing my own cooking, washing, scrubbing my toilet, budgeting/saving, etc.
