What is enshittification?
The phenomenon of online platforms gradually degrading the quality of their services, often by promoting advertisements and sponsored content, in order to increase profits. (Cory Doctorow, 2022, extracted from Wikitionary) source
The lifecycle of Big Internet
We discuss how predatory big tech platforms live and die by luring people in and then decaying for profit.
Embrace, extend and extinguish
We also discuss how naturally open technologies like the Fediverse can be susceptible to corporate takeovers, rugpulls and subsequent enshittification.

Kdenlive is the precise opposite experience of this meme! It is awesome.
I had to suggest something to people seeing this meme and not knowing where to turn. Otherwise, they may try using Shotcut.
Yeah I already tried shotcut and it was usable but not great, it has trouble with audio preview. Swapped to kdenlive and no issues
Well then here is a handy link right to kdenlive's website to make it as easy as possible for people to check out!
