What's a service you’ve been using forever that hasn’t enshitified? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

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?

Is this a joke? 1Password’s switch from “lifetime license with local vaults” to “Fuck you/pay me subscription-based, cloud-only vaults” is the poster child for enshittified software. Version 8 is the main reason Bitwarden/KeepPass/VaultWarden are so popular now.

I only started using it after the introduction of the subscription model. So from my point of view it hasn’t gotten worse, yet..

Ah. For those from the Before Times, Versions 1 through 6 were absolutely amazing. Version 7 included VC-inspired “improvements” that set off early-warning alarms, and Version 8 is the Stephen Miller of password managers.
