Oh for sure, I don’t have the data personally to prove or disprove enshitification of video media consumption. So I’m going on personal experiences and opinion, here. As a personal anecdote, attempts to enshitify video streaming was just met with me leaving the platform. So I’m admittedly projecting my own view onto other people, here. Unlike social media where there is a network effect that keeps people there, video media doesn’t have that effect. If a provider makes video streaming worse, consumers will just leave and they can do one any another million of things there is to do on a tablet.
That’s why I’m not really concerned with the Netflix buyout of WB discovery. It will likely make more content available on more services.
