The Norwegian Consumer Council hate enshittification and they're using humour to fight it.

I wonder if anyone else noticed the irony that it's a "vertical video" meant to be played on cell phone screens (both awkward and short lived/replaced quicker than normal screens) instead of normal video that makes sense on normal screens.

I feel a little ashamed of having watched it since I try to NEVER click on ANY of these vertical videos -- they're like "tik tok" or "shorts" and I just won't ever do those.

I would rather see European country Consumer Council(s) to impose 10% turnover penalty on any enshittificator. This video feels to me like a desperate cry of powerlessness.

> Enshittification

Or, I don't use the word that way. I use it when something on the Internet just doesn't work correctly.

Like when I want to purchase something and I can't create an account.

Why not talking about the digital elephant in the room:

➡️ A completely absurd, dysfunctional and competition-averse "intellectual property right" (#IPR) called

that not only belittles owners of smart gadgets to simple, remote controlled users of things they paid for: The IPR enables others to deliver software based sabotage - enshittification as well as private/state-ordered surveillance. And the betrayers can lie on us since we are disabled/disallowed to re-engineer.
