  A company that stops using dial home DRM because it’s costing them too much money should hardly be lauded.

  If you haven’t experienced enshitification with a company, you just haven’t quite waited long enough.

    Yeah, the problem with enshittification is not that it is something that some companies do but that all companies are heavily incentivized to do under a lot of circumstances (enough that circumstances will come up for practically any company regularly).

      Anticompetitive practices with their marketshare and pricing exclusivity. Fearful of what a post Gabe steam looks like too

      Doesn’t need to be publicly traded; just about anything with investors looking for a return

  This author has a very low bar for “unshittification”.

    Yep. “My draconian DRM loosened the straight jacket a little.”

  UnDeshittification

  Makes more sense to me if the pre “en” is used in “enshittification”.

  This shiticle has no insight whatsoever, it’s basically a composite advert for three different product/services.

  I got lost at the first few lines. No idea what any of this means.

  So one of his examples is that he bought stolen goods and when they were returned to the original owner he felt he deserved them as well? If he didn’t submit a charge back he’s complicit in supporting this fraud. The vendor should have offered to sell him a copy for the price he paid to the scammer instead.

  As someone who have used Iloks for years it baffles me that someone would say it’s not shit. Sure, cloud licensing can be much worse, but I hate those shitty usb keys
