YouTube disallowing adblockers, Reddit charging for API usage, Twitter blocking non-registered users. These events happen almost at the same time. Is this one of the effects of the tech bubble burst?

    nVidia was very popular as the scrappy upstart during the Riva128 and TNT/TNT2 Ultra days. Their popularity with users was very high at the time. Enshittification really got started with them during the early Geforce days and just spiraled around Geforce 3. When they got their asses spanked by ATI with the R300 series they had to de-shittify for a brief time.
