    reduce the enshittification

    Whatever you want to buy out there, do a proper research on it.

    Most definitely , there will be a review of it, be it from YouTube, blogs; there should be someone talking about it (perks of the internet)

    If not, you better run.

    Being an early adoptor is a recipe for disappointments.

      Also be mindful that a lot of online reviews might be sponsored, thus biased. I personally do look for reviews (ideally at least 2-3 different ones), but also for opinions of users on forums and other social media.

      I was just talking about this yesterday.

      My wife has a top of the line “remarkable” with upgraded storage space, she’s grandfathered into that option, which is no longer available. it’s now entirely monthly subscriptions, she wouldn’t have had the opportunity if she weren’t an early adopter.

      We used to swear by “never buy iteration 1 of a generation” but today it seems that if a product is going to be successful, it’s going to get degraded in iteration 2.

      Textbook enshittification. Now you have to take a chance on something being good and the company sticking around, and buy in before it gets on the radar of investors.
