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.

This looks like a phone app though?
It's Linux software, idk if there's some phone thing by the same name, but I've used it a little. It's pretty good.
Yes I’m aware. I prefer OpenShot myself. But at first glance it doesn’t look like OP is on a desktop.
Every time I've tried to use OpenShot it's crashed 75 times before I even load all my footage in.
ah my mistake, thought you had looked up Kdenlive and mistook it for a phone app
they were saying the photo in the post looks like a phone app
