All companies in 2023 be like "we'll start charging every time the user unlocks their screen, we'll make a premium plan just to allow you refresh your feed more than twice a day, we'll force developers to pay $1000's a month for a API that so far they could use for free, we'll drop all of our open-source licenses and abandon all of our open efforts, we'll kill all of the alternative clients without notice we'll expand the network of data brokers, advertisers and gossipers we share your data with, we'll shovel more ads down your throat, and we'll make it impossible for you to copy your data out of our platform".
Enshittification, removal of features people want and addition of features nobody asked have become the bedrock of how our industry works nowadays.
Then, when backlash, boycotts and a rush for alternatives obviously follows, these failures of our industry rush to put together ridiculous statements like these ("we have heard you, we work closely with our partners and customers to find the best solution, we care about our customers, bla bla").
No, you don't.
If you really cared about your customers, if you proactively listened to us, if you genuinely loved the product you build, you wouldn't be in this state.
When companies end up in this state, the damage is done. No further announcements can undo it. Everybody understands that these enshittified companies are desperate for money, and anybody who is desperate for money can NEVER be trusted.
