    Seriously thinking about a degoogled phone or even free of it.

      more enshittification

      Where, it's a UI refresh, not a degradation of services.

      is that really what people want?

      Google are the outliers. iOS has similar aesthetics. One UI has similar aesthetics. Whatever Xiaomi's is called has similar aesthetics. By the numbers, yes it is what people want.

          Enshittification by bloating with useless stuff.
          Not what people want but what they're forced (or blackmailed) into - all for G glorification and money grabbing.
          Look at Nova (launcher): one time affordable fee and stuff to make your phone useful (handling and aesthetics) you can have an as minimalist or as fancy environment as you want.
          Just read they're (Google) are going to use AI now in YouTube to give you ads when you're most focused on something - it's unethical imho and also shows how stupid advertisers are because I for one wouldn't only be peeved with Google but boycott the product or/and advertiser.

            Enshittification, also known as crapification and platform decay, is a pattern in which two-sided online products and services decline in quality over time. Initially, vendors create high-quality offerings to attract users, then they degrade those offerings to better serve business customers, and finally degrade their services to users and business customers to maximize profits for shareholders.

            Notice how it doesn't, by definition, cover making UI changes that a particular user doesn't like.

            Put it in perspective, it's merely a fresh coat of paint. It's like calling enshittification because a CSS file doesn't load.

              ... some people want that.
              Ie there's a window manager, openbox, it's thought of by many people as dead or not further maintained because it happens so rarely, but it is because it's good as, it works and many people love it for that.
