The latest victim of #enshittification is #BirdBuddy
Backed two of their kickstarters - the original feeder, and the bird bath. Good products.
Today, they took away the species recognition and put it into the premium subscription (unless you tap to identify, and then get an ad for premium in the app, and tap again).
Note that their “advanced AI” pre-dated today’s LLMs and was traditional machine vision / learning, with human training (ie we helped them, now they rent back to us)
Angry. 😡
