When was this done? Because Windows has already been enshitified.
-
Uhh I think windows was the first of them all lol
-
Windows 7 was the last good windows OS, I will die on this hill

Netflix is leaning hard into trying to make you watch anything other than what you want to watch. This is such a weird obsession of tech companies. Websites do it all the time. I'm trying to read an article and they keep shoving pictures and links to other articles all over the middle of what I'm reading. Oh, and when I get half way through, they refresh the page so the can show me more things I'm not interested in. Fucking wankers.
-
I think they do it because getting you to go to the thing is the point, not watch the thing. Once you've gone to the thing they just want you to go to the next thing. Watching the thing is just wasted time for them.
It probably has to do with maximizing your exposure to advertising.
-
TikTok proves it works and keeps people with low attention spans addicted and more likely to watch ads. This should become an unethical practice like pyramid schemes. If your website shows a high percentage of unrelated content, it should be seized by the government.

I’m behind, how did Minecraft get enshittified? I catch the occasional stream and the game looks like it’s on another level from when I last played in like 2012
-
Java edition is still generally okay, but MS has been trying to cram it in the typical mobile game mold with a store and stuff. If MS had made Minecraft, we'd probably have item stacks of 10 or 100 rather than 64. :D

Windows is constantly getting worse, it came before Minecraft
-
NEFTLIX
-
Minecraft is still really good if you just ignore the fact that Bedrock exists
-
Modded Java is the way to go.

When Windows ME is older than most posters...
-
Literally all of those are still incredibly popular and one of the leaders in their respective space. Sure, they have been "enshittified", but not killed off by it yet. .
-
People do argue that Windows is in that process for so many years now.
-
August 1st 2012, to be precise.
-
I'm not the kind of person to say anything or anyone gave me the"ick", but that's exactly what Windows 8 did. And it's remained ever since..

Reddit is profitable for the first time ever
-
Lies. They've been hauling in the money for a long time. They just hid it better.
-
That should make the user experience better!
-
oh sweet summer child

Yeah, but you can still enjoy 1.7.10 + 1.12.2 not the same could be said for all the other things
-
I'm still bitter about the SSP/SMP merge. 1.2.5 runs so good.
-
-
Windows should be twice in this photo
-
minecraft is shit now? I last played around 1.15-1.16 and I had a lot of fun. I don't really follow it but I haven't heard of any recent dissatisfaction. What have I missed?
-
Google maps, Thinkpad and YouTube.
-
What happens to Maps?
-
Google started charging for the map api use of their service, there are ads in search and the ui is horrendous.
The one guy running altgrocery got charged hundreds of dollars because people flooded their website’s map in search of local independent grocers.
That’s why I’m on Organic maps instead now. It’s got 1% of the user base and 10.5% contributors as Google maps has. The UI is clean and the map is easy to contribute to.
