Typical error of his, going "A Bridge Too Far". He points out something interesting and important to lure you in and then hand-gestures grandly toward an industry/practice that he feels we should all question. Because, you know, brilliant genius Cory Doctorow.
- lazyasciiart 4y agoUber and DoorDash did exactly the same thing as what you somehow find “interesting and important” when done by someone else, but you don’t care. Because, you know, brilliant disruption tech? Or what? https://support.google.com/business/thread/5820393/doordash-has-hijacked-my-google-business-page-and-i-can-t-edit-or-delete-the-order-link-away?hl=en https://support.google.com/business/thread/5820393/doordash-...

- nehal3m 4y agoI find it absolutely hilarious that you're doing the exact thing you're railing against in two sentences flat. Also, I'll give you that he does hand-gesture grandly in this Twitter thread, but he co-wrote a whole book about it called Chokepoint Capitalism. There's a lot more detail about it there, and the logic there applies here.
