minus-squaresoulsource@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up1·8 months agoOkay, Youtube was maybe a bad example. They aren’t that far with the enshittification yet, and just started increasing the amounts of ads… Things I do expect: Price increase Tiered pricing (okay, that’s already a thing for GamePass with the “PC” and “Ultimate” plan) Lower price tiers including advertisements (could for instance be placed in games streamed from the cloud) Other things that aren’t beneficial for consumers.
