The Enshittification of Digital Platforms: Why Social Media Is Getting Worse

Описание: Have you noticed your favorite social media apps getting worse? You're not imagining it. This phenomenon is known as "enshittification," a term coined by sci-fi author and activist Cory Doctorow. It describes the gradual decline of digital platforms like Facebook, Twitter (now X), and Instagram. They start out great to attract users, but once they have a captive audience, they start to "enshittify."

This means more ads, fewer features, and things being put behind paywalls. The platforms become less about the users and more about the profits. But the problem goes even deeper. When we rely on just a few platforms, we lose our "digital sovereignty," making us vulnerable to government surveillance and corporate control.

In this video, we break down what enshittification is and why you should be mindful of where you're putting your digital footprint. Don't get stuck—learn how to navigate the modern digital landscape.
