Just your friendly reminder that anything created or owned by a corporation will eventually consume everything its users love—and eventually itself—in the name of "growth".
Nothing, and no one, is safe from the cancerous embrace of late-stage capitalism.
However, there is hope...if we act.
The Fediverse is proof we don't need to accept the enshittification of our social media.
Open access and open source communities are proof we can stand on each other's shoulders to build a better solution.
These are a great start, but we need to treat capitalism like the disease it is, and actively fight it off.
So...block those ads, circumvent those paywalls, pirate that shit, pollute your data, and cut out whatever rotten tendrils of corporate greed you can from your life.
Capitalism can't survive if we stop feeding it.
We'll need to support each other when it lashes out—and it'll scream, and thrash, and try to take us down with it, but that's the desperation of a dying system.
If you're wondering where to start, aim for the data.
If we make it cost more to process our garbage data than companies can get from selling it, then we win that fight. And, given corporate reliance on data-brokering as a revenue stream, that's a *big* fight.
