I’m putting this in chat and not in Technology because I’m also wondering about things like clothes, appliances—basically any sort of consumer product, virtual or physical, you can think of that you feel has retained some standard of quality and has not yet been enshittified. I would start by saying that Wikipedia has not yet been enshittified, but perhaps you disagree? Post is inspired by this video.

EDIT: coyotino correctly points out that Wikipedia isn’t a product but a service; poor word choice on my part, just trying to cast a wide a net as possible here in the hopes of making a list of “things that are still good that don’t suck.” Like I said, a wide net 🙂.

    A rare win indeed. I do tend to prioritize GOG for games now since they’re DRM-free (and Bandcamp for music purchase).

        It is, and all the artists I bought music from offered their music in lossless format (ex: FLAC) as well as more common format (ex: mp3)

          That’s sweet! I’m definitely joining! Of course I want to pay for music, but I can’t stand having some black box software walled garden around something I paid for running on something I paid for. And then youtube has this terrible quality.

      Personally, I have trouble continuing to buy from Bandcamp since they were sold to another company which promptly had a round of layoffs.
