As per title, I’ve been thinking, Tech has been seeing a downturn due to investor money divesting, perhaps that’s part of the source of pressure for crackdowns on piracy, in addition to youtube restricting ad blockers, and other enshittification around other streaming media (whether it is behind reddit’s enshittification is perhaps a different convo)
Yes, combined with rising federal interest rates. It’s not a coincidence that the internet suddenly got significantly worse all at once.
