What is enshittification?
The phenomenon of online platforms gradually degrading the quality of their services, often by promoting advertisements and sponsored content, in order to increase profits. (Cory Doctorow, 2022, extracted from Wikitionary) source
The lifecycle of Big Internet
We discuss how predatory big tech platforms live and die by luring people in and then decaying for profit.
Embrace, extend and extinguish
We also discuss how naturally open technologies like the Fediverse can be susceptible to corporate takeovers, rugpulls and subsequent enshittification.

Fair. I would say you don’t need most of those. Just try uBO alone. Add others as needed. But realistically you should not have to. All you should have to do is add a block list to uBO.
I did I only ever enabled one at a time. They all had their issues with Twitch and YT blocking though. I’ve not found a solution for Twitch that works well, so I just sub to the occasional streamer now.
