I just read the linked Fast Company article [0]. One question that particularly frustrates me about this process is: why are the former leadership of companies that become enshittified so quiet about it? Do they just get paid out with restrictive NDAs?
One of the only exceptions to this I can remember is the founder of Whatsapp, who gave an interview pretty critical of Meta some years back after it acquired Whatsapp.

is there an enshittification watch site? or something to track acquisition and red flags in products/oss projects? itsenshittifiedyet.info if not, what would it take to do that? i think it can be vibed in a weekend.

Crap. I just switched to Bitwarden as it was the only password manager that Just Worked and didn't seem scammy. Oh well
I am tired of this bullshit.
Want to raise the price? Fine, be honest about it and make sure it stays sustainably stable for a long while.
I am not leaving because of the price, but because of the dishonest behaviour around something so central and vital to my daily life.
Can someone just fork BitWarden into another open source project already? Maybe MorselGuardian lol

This is terrible news. Jump off the ship while it's still possible!
