#Enshitification

Paul H<p>I see that YouTube notifications have gone "algorithmic" instead of purely chronological - i.e. There's an "Important" section, and a "More notifications" section.</p><p>Much confusion!

Marc Thomas<p>I used to be able to recommend Garmin watches for fitness focused individuals unconditionally. After today's announcement I have reservations for the first time. </p><p>I've read nothing but outage and a feeling of betrayal from the Garmin community. I hope they come to realize how bad of an idea this is and back track before they do irreparable harm, if they haven't already. </p><p><a href="https://www.theverge.com/news/636211/garmin-connect-plus-subscription-wearables" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theverge.com/news/636211/garmi</span><span class="invisible">n-connect-plus-subscription-wearables</span></a></p><p><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/garmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>garmin</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/enshitification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>enshitification</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/nosubscriptions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nosubscriptions</span></a></p>
Federico Hernandez<p>Garmin quo vadis? A Garmin Connect+ premium subscription? Really?</p><p>Makes you look cheap and greedy - considering the price of your more advanced watches. Luckily I don’t need the features you are now hiding behind the pay wall. Maybe the Performance Dashboards would be nice to have. And considering that Garmin Connect basically never gets an update those dashboards could have been released for free. And a useless AI? Haven’t you learned from the really bad Strava AI?</p><p>Seems DC Rainmaker is not impressed either.</p><p>Is the <a href="https://mountains.social/tags/enshitification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>enshitification</span></a> now also reaching Garmin?</p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/6PEXU-TIKuo?si=lFp7uUlSsfgzjnVd" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">youtu.be/6PEXU-TIKuo?si=lFp7uU</span><span class="invisible">lSsfgzjnVd</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mountains.social/tags/garmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>garmin</span></a> <a href="https://mountains.social/tags/trailrunning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trailrunning</span></a> <a href="https://mountains.social/tags/running" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>running</span></a> <a href="https://mountains.social/tags/strava" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>strava</span></a></p>

Ben Pate 🤘🏻<p>Yes. To add.. there will always be middlemen. But they can be made less toxic by the open marketplace. In this example, the Fediverse.
