Comment on Google is purging ad-blocking extension uBlock Origin from the Chrome Web Store

I’ve already switched to Firefox. It makes me a little sad that I moved to chrome in the first place. Back then google seemed to care about improving the web experience and moving to open standards. Now they are so dominant, it’s the opposite. Its the death of an idealistic internet.

We need to add the fourth E: Enshittify. Once you’ve eliminated all the competition, extract every last dollar out of your users by steadily degrading their experience while offering them the option to pay to restore some semblance of usability.

Not just the customers, but the “business partners” too! If you want your search results at the top of the list, pay up! Sometimes you even get to pay for your ad to be shown in a context that’s not relevant at all, despite all the data collected to personalize ads!

Yes, which existed at the time but was not a commonly used phrase. I dont know that it had even been coined by that point.
