    For those wondering about what specifically happened with each:

    Minecraft - microtransactions on Bedrock edition

    Reddit - API changes killing 3rd party apps and streamlining ad delivery

    Netflix - Pricing and library changes making it less and less of a good deal

    Chrome - Manifest V3 killing uBlock Origin and similar content blockers

    Windows - Increasing numbers of ads baked into the system, poorly-made features like Recall, and lack of hardware compatibility with the TPM 2.0 requirement

      Additional stuff:

      Reddit - becoming more and more like a typical social media website with profile customizations and instant messaging.

      Netflix - ads and now only limited to one household.

      Chrome - might be the bloatiest of all chromium based browsers

      Thanks. I was legitimately confused by Minecraft because I never saw anything negative added to Java edition but I’ve never played Bedrock. Minecraft keeps pumping out free content updates so they seem like a good example of what to do for a company.
