??? Xerox and Kodak are immortal household names that dominated their niches for decades, what level of "success" would satisfy you? what are you lamenting, that they didn't completely enshittify their products while they were on top and torch their brands to the ground for a little more revenue?
- moritzwarhier 2y agoHe said that Xerox was not commercially successful with software or GUIs, and Kodak wasn't successful with digital cameras. In spite of Xerox labs having pioneered the windowed OS GUI with mouse and Kodak having built the first portable mass-market digital camera. They wouldn't have needed to enshittify or degrade their products to be successful with that, they just failed for other reasons.
