And here I was thinking opensource was immune to enshittification...


It is, but people/corporations aren’t.


I guess the quality here is resilience more so than immunity. I guess you can say opensource is much more resilient to enshittification.

I think Mozilla has been a good example of that but the perception has been that resilience has been crumbling for years. Without an independent business model they have been in a really terrible position from the get-go.

That's one way to look at it, I guess. You could also look at it like a business model will inevitably enshittify.


You obviously never used wordpress, lol
