Enshittification is everywhere.
Cultural entropy?
"nearly all the art and culture that means something to me started as something that was transgressive and weird, and even if it was eventually metabolized by the mainstream, that was only after it had a chance to ferment and mutate in a tide-pool of Bohemian weirdness."
@pluralistic furries have been playing that trick to some extent: weird enough to not get colonized by money other than their own
Deplatform yourself: Copyright infringement is your least entertainment dollar.
