My GOG games aren't, my Steam library's still chugging along after 11 years, my Linux installs haven't failed or started spying on me and my offline, modular 3d printer still works.
It's all about understanding what you're using/buying and what's the incentives for those on the other end. We shouldn't have to think about that all the time, but on the bright side there are cool things happening outside of enshittification by publicly traded corpos.
Also VLC is free and is one of the best media players there is, and yt-dlp is so easy to acquire music with I'm surprised people thought spotify was a good long term idea for their music consumption.
steam will go to shit soon as we lose gaben
Fingers crossed he passes the reigns to someone with the same vision.
Would that be coorporate suicide for steam?
Probably. Reasonable storefronts are the only thing keeping the warez at bay.

As much as I know Spotify isn't great for artists, I do find it to be the best streaming option for how I enjoy music. Next to Winamp of course.
It really whips the llamas ass.

I love seeing this. As someone who has kept his own library of music since 2004 and went through the peak of local libraries to it almost being dead after like 2012, this is a day I never saw coming! When it started declining, home hosting solutions were already sparse, but then some more threw in the towel as well. Right now, I use Navidrome as my server and Symfonium for the app and has been an incredible 2 years using it. If people start coming back, I feel like it will only drive more creativity and new features as it will be worked on more than it is.

That's typically the kind of videos I will never watch. The thumbnail is ridiculous (as per YouTube's guidelines), the title is vague and clickbait. For those who did, what made you click?
PS: thanks OP for adding details
I refuse to use YouTube without sponsorblock and dearrow. I use Firefox on android with extensions and make a YouTube PWA because thumbnails in the official app are ridiculous.
Even good channels like Veritasium have completely irrelevant titles make me skip videos I would've watched
