this closing down of the web, which began with FB, has taken another step during twitter's demise into what it is now

We complain when good sites are acquired and shut down, but maybe it's even worse when they're acquired and kept running in a shitty state like IMDB or Twitter. Big enough to stave off competition and prevent progress.

		Until recently IMDB worked without javascript even. It's the onslaught from AI crawlers that is driving the current enshittification of the web. It's really accelerated in the last six months.
