Those are the effects of enshittification. Users and advertisers are stuck.

Quoting Cory Doctorow: "I call this enshittification, and it is a seemingly inevitable consequence arising from the combination of the ease of changing how a platform allocates value, combined with the nature of a "two-sided market", where a platform sits between buyers and sellers, hold each hostage to the other, raking off an ever-larger share of the value that passes between them."

This seems fitting, Doctorow was also on https://boingboing.net/ which started as a place for whimsical or intellectually curious content but now every third article is obsessed with US politics.
