  • Not sure if I'm able to change my username (and too lazy to check right now), but that's honestly not a bad plan.

  • On the other hand, with more money going to the US alternatives, there's more potential for a US company to step into that niche once it's open.

    Not that it'll necessarily happen obviously, but it does make it a bit easier at least.

    Also, I feel like I should add the disclaimer of "I'm not American." I wish I could show my country next to my username or something lol.

  • I would hope it moves just like any other knight - going in one direction for a while before suddenly veering off to the side and coming to an abrupt stop.

  • Ngl, I'm torn on this because I'm honestly not sure I could stop using YouTube.

    I hate ads with a burning passion, though, so we'll see which wolf wins out there.

    If i can't get around this using something like SponsorBlock, I feel like I'll probably just set up some kind of pipeline to download videos and remove the ads myself (maybe using AI if it's that bad) and just serve them over Jellyfin or something. Gonna be a pain, though.

  • Fair points all around. Have a great evening!

  • I don't disagree that the word should exist, I'm saying it's become overused to the point of becoming meaningless. Take this entire thread, for instance. This is not enshittification - yet, here we are.

  • Protecting profits isn't the same as trying to squeeze more profits. If companies were enacting bad policy out of legitimate concern for their business (as is the case here), it wouldn't necessarily be an issue.

  • That's a stretch.

  • I think we see it so much because kids on the internet think it's fun to say. It's dismissive and stifles meaningful conversation.

  • Besides, this instance isn't even enshittification anyway.

    Enshittification is when a company makes the user experience worse to squeeze more money out of them. This is just government regulation.

  • Yeah me too, but can we not discuss it in a more nuanced and useful way than just shoving this word into every single post on Lemmy?

  • God I'm getting sick of that word.

  • Wtf its been a year?? What a wild ride!

  • Probably worth putting Tarn's name in the title tbh. (Directed at PCGamer, not OP)

  • Aha, so I was right, you will give it to someone. >=3

  • What for?

  • Give it to someone that needs it.

  • Wtf why isn't this the guy in charge of Bethesda??

  • Spoiling items is just yet another thing I never knew I wanted that will completely change the game for the better. I can't wait for this to drop.
