What is enshittification?
The phenomenon of online platforms gradually degrading the quality of their services, often by promoting advertisements and sponsored content, in order to increase profits. (Cory Doctorow, 2022, extracted from Wikitionary) source

MODERATORS
I recently looked for a small gaming YouTube channel I used to watch five years ago. The creator is no longer active as she is now focused on her academic career.
What surprises me is that when I searched on Google, the image results were filled with AI-generated nudes with her face.
My downvotes are invading AI videos.
