The author blames it primarily on a single venture capital group, KRR. In fact the article doesn’t mention “capitalism” the economic system at all; only “venture capitalism” and “vampire capitalism”.
- pnutjam 3y agoYeah, KRR is bad, but they are just a cog in the machinery of crapitalism.

- Arch-TK 3y ago"In fact the article doesn’t mention “capitalism” the economic system at all;" "...capitalist enshittification." "...this particular capitalist bait-and-switch playbook..." "...little socialist oases in the capitalist desert hellscape of twenty-first century America..." I think you have to be willfully blind to not spot that the author is blaming "capitalism" the economic system for this. The fact that the author then goes on to single out "vampire capitalism", "venture capitalism" and KRR is really irrelevant in light of all this.
