>>280658515Not being part of the network in the first place prevents enshitification.
Here's how enshitification works:
1. Grow consumer network with cheap deals and good service
2. Network of consumers big enough to attract suppliers
3. Fuck customers to get suppliers hooked (initial enshitification)
4. Suppliers now hooked in and dependent
5. Fuck the suppliers & consumers to make capital back (full enshitification)
6. Product network dies (rotten pile of shit leftover)
If you prevent the network from having everyone, then it loses attractiveness to the supplier. ESPECIALLY if the network is a bunch of shit-ass cunts. This is why boycotting - gatekeeping your dollars and attention - is critical. Google has power because you use it. Social media has power because you use it. You take their power by not using their services.
