Has enshittification noticeably increased across the entire Internet in the past 10 years? Yes.
Would repealing the current net neutrality rules make enshittification even worse? Definitely. It would hand ISPs even more control over what we see, how fast we see it, and who gets prioritized, all based on, at best, who pays them more. You think the internet is shitty now?
It's a false dichotomy anyway, framing anyone concerned with net neutrality as a panic-driven alarmist, and anyone opposed to net neutrality rules as calm, rational, and intelligent. It's rhetoric designed to discredit one side without addressing its actual arguments.
I feel like that's more of an inevitable entropy kind of thing.
