> Doctorow has used the term platform decay to describe the same concept.
- colesantiago 3y agoSo then this proves that this ‘word’ doesn’t need to exist. So then it’s baffling (other than it’s vulgarity) that this ‘word’ has become popular. Only tech / writer / journalism circles has this sort of thing happens, I do hope that this word gets replaced. Reintroducing platform decay or something similar would be a start to get this into books rather than that ‘marketing vulgar buzzword’
- BlueTemplar 3y agoI'm guessing that by the point that you consider using the word, you are annoyed enough at the situation that an expletive feels appropriate ?
- Mistletoe 3y agoBut the word perfectly describes the experience. It is a vulgar experience.
