There must be a term we can come up with for when a "free" service / platform gradually becomes borderline unusable. Main symptoms are implementation of stories, deceptive design, engagement-focused useless functionalities... I hadn't used Medium in a while and look at the mess now. What. Seriously, what.

A screenshot of the website medium.com taken a couple of days ago. It shows a top line of icons with number badges that look like "stories" as well as a bunch of new functionalities that seem quite useless, still focused on engagement, recommendations and such.
