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.

“Hey, wanna go to parkiquaver?”
“What?”
“Parkiquaver, the gay club with the penis in the logo, instead of an i.”

You can tell by the way it is.

Did they really just paint over with a totally wrong color to put their slogan on it? How fricking lazy can you be?!

[–] Raptorox@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

Since they're using slop in the first place, I'd say unimaginably lazy

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space -1 points 5 months ago

It’s called irony, brah

Ok, but that design could be an idea for a company named "Parking 95" where the G is a 9 in the same font. Just imagine Parkin95 with the 95 in red and slightly bigger than the other text.

Yes it's slop, but it's not a bad idea for an artist to take inspiration from.
