alt Hacker Newsmullvad stopped providing port forwarding due to the abuse and the effects a single-digit percent of their users was having on the other 90+% of users.
not because they "already make enough money on the people using the main features" or "enshittification".
its kind of like the opposite of enshittification, actually, seeing how it made the service better for the majority of their users.
Maybe the term is wrong but I really disliked this move. They should just have taken more active measures to combat abuse, which is something all providers have to deal with.
One example: They could have done port forwarding just on UDP. Which would still have allowed torrents (the main usecase for port forwarding) but blocked any kind of webhosting via VPN.
But for me the service got distinctly shittier so for me I think this term qualifies.
