I don’t feel like they’re the poster child for enshittification; I still use Facebook the same as I did in 2006. It got worse, true, but it’s not enshittification worse. It’s worse because every removed with a phone can get on from their phones. I don’t feel it’s enshittification as there’s no fees and it still serves the same basic function of keeping in touch with friends/family and uploading photos. How do you feel it was enshittified?
If they were charging for photo storage or a certain number of friends, or fees for business pages, I’d agree. I don’t see monitization or the ruthless pursuit of profit as the main force behind why Facebook sucks these days.
C. None of the above
I do have LinkedIn which I keep as a professional point of contact. But that is heavily filtered in what I post and what I bother reading.
I also have a Mastadon account for following the infosec.exchange community. Though I basically just lurk and don’t post.
Meta is really the poster child for enshitification.

It’s free because they’re harvesting and selling all your data to the highest bidder.
