Services still in the first stage of the enshittification cycle are always fun to use
Right? And at this stage, it's basically subsidized by venture capitalists looking to eventually turn a profit. I see nothing morally wrong with enjoying a product or service paid for by a greedy billionaire.
I mean, you're going to get screwed by those same greedy billionaires if you invest anything of yourself and your community in it and it enters the next enshittification stage.
Which it probably is on its way to doing.
But in the meantime.... wheee!
That's probably true, but there are always alternatives.
