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

Oh, so that's why I can vote. I was so confused. Doesn't change the fact that fascists need pitchforks.
