The age of this post really drives home the inevitability of software enshittification.

> Unroll.me

The same Unroll.me that was found to be selling customer purchase data (because users gave it access to all emails) [0]

> Pocket

Used to pull full-text articles from interesting sites for offline reading, now defaults to content mill sites and sends you to the live web page unless you have airplane mode on.

> Quora

Genuinely a wonderful site to be on circa 2012, it had the "old internet" feel where knowledgeable people would write detailed answers. Now it's been completely gamed and become an SEO channel for SaaS companies, lazy answers from content writers trying to get visibility.

Any decent alternatives to Pocket?

Wallabag is the one suggestion that keeps popping up persistently, though I've not used it myself. You can deploy your own instance.
