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

Well there's always MUDs!
The last MUD I played was Iconoclast! I think it's still active too. I haven't played this since the mid-2000s or so. I wonder if any of my writing is still in there... Not that I remember what I wrote. I think just a few room and item descriptions.
