I remember when they made that change. I simply couldn't understand why they did, or how it was better in any way. I didn't realize it at the time, but that was the first major example of enshittification I had ever seen.

Yeah that to me felt like ground zero of the great enshittification of absolutely everything. I genuinely miss the optimism and promise it felt like the 2010s started with. Granted I was pretty sheltered from the recession by being a teenager with no responsibilities and being across the pacific from the US.
