Better than YT (of course), but they're still a commercial corporation and bound to enshittify. PeerTube FTW.
Do we have any examples of Chinese tech enshittification yet? If there are no examples I'm not willing to agree with "bound to enshittify". Chinese companies are not the same as western companies when every single one of them above a certain size has a CPC branch within it, this by itself makes them all organisationally different and we can't say for certain they'll follow the same outcomes.
Buying shit on alibaba or temu can be a nightmare with false advertising and dark patterns. I feel like it's gotten worse.
I think enshittification applies mainly to tech products that are usually free services that make their money from data or ads rather than just a shopping market? Not saying it hasn't gotten worse but seems like a different thing?
Yeah you're probably right. I was using it in the sense that everything gets worse under capitalism.
