We all know the struggle of beloved services slowly going downhill. What’s one service, tool, or website you’ve been using for years that’s still great and hasn’t turned to crap?

+1 davinci… it’s incredible what you get in the free version, and the studio version is getting more and more worth the money in a value add way rather than a need it way

Which reminds me, I've had a few dropout shows on my jellyfin for a while but really need to drop a sub to support. They do great stuff

I swear, I feel like I’ve watched (or have shown off to people unfamiliar with dropout) A Game Most Changed like 5 times.

Or if they’re straight, Sam Says. Lol

Dropout is pretty good. I don't think they've really been around enough to enshitify yet though. They're on big up-swing. During that time they've been cheap, audience-focused, and fair to their cast and crew. They've already raised the price at least once. If they get some loans/investors involved or have a bad year, I could easily see them becoming more like other streaming services. I hope I'm wrong.

True, it's likely too early to tell. I think I just inadvertently compare them to all the other streaming services right now. As for the price increase, that's only for new subscribers- existing subscribers are grandfathered in at the previous price.
