So much for " The e-commerce platform typically receives thousands of takedown notices per month from rightsholders, which are in part processed automatically. That works well in most instances, but not always."
As a person who's built at least half their career on Rails, I want Shopify to succeed in a big way, but every "platform" acts the same way. What's worse is that I've read other stories from Shopify creators who are having their stuff directly ripped off, and their complaints have no effect.
Why do the people running platforms all wink and nod, and agree to enshittify the service for the creators in the same way, leaving them nowhere else to go? Seems like there's an opportunity to make more money by breaking the mold, and being a platform that favors creators over complaints.
Ahhh, don't worry; I'm sure AI will sort all of this out shortly. <eyeroll> Anything to avoid hiring actual people with brains to sort these kinds of things out.
If these automated systems are so great, you'd think there'd be relatively little gray area for human beings to sort out, but no one seems to actually do that, until a stink is made on some social media that the company can't avoid.
