I'd love a vote on how hard or easy it is for people. I got it quick.
I also understood the problems ahead of time reasonably well.
I can't see how #enshittification is anything other than an apt world-consuming trend broadly outlining the predominamt trends of capitalism in the world today. And for the new phase of Amazon now that it has attained market capture. To you it seems like a huge turn off, tuned you out, but you've just heaped the term onto your pile of disdain. It's unclear to me what problems you have, why you disagree or what you find inaccurate about the term in general or it's application.
- Invictus0 4y agoThe article is crap. The main point is in the second half of the article: > Amazon binds its sellers over to something called Most Favored Nation status. That means that sellers can't offer their goods more cheaply than they do on Amazon – even if it costs them (lots) less to sell in Target or direct from their websites. This means that every time a seller adds a dollar to their Amazon sale price, they have to add a dollar to the price of their goods everywhere else, too.
- thayne 4y agoThe content leading up to it is explaining why Amazon is able to force sellers to accept that, and telling the story of how they got there. Most Favored Nation only works if you have no choice but to do business them.
