❓Have you noticed that digital products and services are getting worse? So have we!
➡️We have published a report about enshittification, on how and why digital products and services keep getting worse - and how we can turn the trend (hint: open tech, enforcement, public policy++)
Obviously @pluralistic is a big inspiration and help in this work.

@kernellogger @corbet There is at least one blocklist for uBlock Origin:
https://github.com/laylavish/uBlockOrigin-HUGE-AI-Blocklist
However, it appears to have been abandoned, already.

A huge blocklist of manually curated sites that contain AI generated imagery for uBlock Origin & uBlacklist. - laylavish/uBlockOrigin-HUGE-AI-Blocklist
@corbet sometimes I wonder if we should create a browser extension with a list of websites that do shady stuff like this – which then shows a big fat "you are better than this, don't go there" warning if you accidentally try to open one. That way they would not get revenue von ads, so it might be in the interest of websites to not land on this blocklist.
But well, creating that extension and motivating users to install it is quite a bit of work – and maintaining the list is a hell of controversial work. Which is why a concept like this likely won't fly, unless we really really want that to happen.
We're starting a series of blog posts on various gamedev topics.
