I mean there’s Reddit ofc, as well as Twitter in its entirety, Discord is implementing some dumb updates, there are issues with Tumblr as well as everything to do with Meta, and I’m sure there are plenty more (and I haven’t even touched other digital media, for example the Sims). Why is it all happening in the span of about a couple months?

    Hard for it to be otherwise, considering it affects almost everything.

    I’d rather focus on publicly traded companies as the main root of evil before dealing with capitalism itself. Private companies tend to not be so destructive - many are fine staying where they are, instead of growing infinitely like cancer, eating everything around them.

      This! It is not like private companies per se are the problem, but rather megacorporations that are pressured to generate unimaginable and entirely unsustainable profits that required to increase from year to year. Private companies must not necessarily be more unsustainable than publicly-owned (by this I mean state-owned) corporations.
