Think the Doctorow 'Enshitification' was more broader than just social media, and was all technology, even non-social apps eventually turn bad as the goals switch from being focused on the user and providing value, to corporate greed trying to extract money from the user.
- philipov 3y agoIsn't enshittification simply the business cycle? It's describing in detail the why of the bust portion of the cycle.
- dahwolf 3y agoIt's an annoying word in itself, and yes, it's simply business as usual in startup land. Invest aggressively at a loss to accelerate growth, then later monetize, if you get that far. Can't we do better? Have a stable business, organically growing and profitable from the start? No. Tech is winner takes all. You need to be first and grow the fastest or somebody else will.
