It’s very frustrating to me that there are fewer and fewer protections for regular people, everything is sort of pushed on you the “CONSUMER™©®” to make “RATIONAL AND EDUCATED CHOICE®©™”. I find it super upsetting that many people don’t have a techno-wizard friend or family to help them navigate this sort of digital labyrinth of these services and subscriptions. Enshittfication is real and it sucks so much that all or public intuitions have had their fangs removed and then starved and beaten and then we say “See, regulation just doesn’t work smh, I guess we have let the market regulate itself even more”
