I think the question boils down on how to stop enshittification. Because if we were to recreate all the enshittified platforms, what would stop them from becoming enshittified anew? We must understand the mechanism of enshittification and fundamentally break this mechanism, making it nearly impossible for a new platform to enter the enshittification cycle again.

I think this calls for a government funded national un-enshittification Laboratory to study the social dynamics of enshittification and develop hygiene practices. Work must be done quickly before enshittification research becomes enshittified!
