We just don’t smell the rot yet. It’s not about the actual body (website) and the name. It is about the spirit, the personality. And that has been compromised and killed off because of factors one could call enshittification or whatever. Digg and Tumblr still exist, at least in name, but not in spirit. I think Reddit has past that threshold. It will be a slow death and I am not sure the fediverse will fill the void it leaves behind. But I do think and believe communities will never sustain on venture capital.
Wouldn’t surprise me if a lot of the posts there are just training another AI model. Skim social media for random people’s profile pictures, post them up, aggregate the responses, and then in probably 5-10 years you have a company offering an AI-driven product that can offer advice on how to improve your look based on all that data.
That’s some dystopian stuff and sadly not far from a possible reality
