    It will inevitably focus more on pleasing its public investors than anything else, therefore enshittification.

    Maybe Steam/Valve is a unicorn, but it’s not publicly traded and it’s doing just fine.

      It is a unicorn. I dread the day Gaben dies and Valve ends up going public. It feels like the last bastion of decent online services.

    How that MIGHT change things?

    Just look at every other tech company in the space that’s gone public to see how it WILL change things. It’s not a mystery at this point.

      Is discord not enshitty?

      I open it and it updates 6 times, then I get a full page ad for nitro. Then all the settings push nitro. And all the “servers” push nitro.
