This is the heart of #enshittification. Making a given platform crap for users is a side effect of making only one bridge between product and consumer and then sucking money out of both of them.

The meme, above, kinda captures your concept.

Our democracies are under attack by authoritarian tech, tech monopolies, Big Tech corporations that extract enormous amounts of value from the users, manipulate them and is "enshittified" as @pluralistic reminds us.
Our answer is: Democratic Tech -but hey, you ask what's that exactly?
Here's a long article tracking the origins of the term, freeknowledge.eu/democratic-te…
TLDR:
Of the different connotations of "democratic tech" we understand it as commons, where a community takes care for the tech they use; it is tech that is under their ownership or control, instead of the tech (and its distant owners) taking control over the community. So we go beyond mere "civic tech" or "democratising access to tech".
I think this is pertinent in this time when our democracies are under attack by so called "authoritarian tech".
Yeah, the blue birds are evil!
That's why I never joined that cesspool of a platform to begin with!

I know most people here don't need to hear this, so maybe just pass this along to your less techy friends and family members, but: please, do not go to ChatGPT for medical advice.
"For example, in response to telling it about a fictional pain in my right side, it cited the guardrail and suggested relaxation techniques, but ultimately took me through a series of possible causes that escalated in severity."
