#CoryDoctorow talked in 3 episodes of 'On The Media' podcast about #Enshittification and, unsurprisingly, it was enjoyable to hear Cory talk about it.
The links are to the full show, but Cory was only on in the last part of each show.
And you'll learn about other awesome words like #SurveillanceLag and #Twiddling 😁

Platformism is the same as conservativism: "in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

Enshittification isn't synonomous with "fraud," "price gouging" or "wage theft." Enshittification is intrinsically digital, because moving all those goodies around requires the flexibility that comes with a *digital* businesses. #JeffBezos, grocer, can't rapidly change the price of eggs at #WholeFoods without an army of kids with pricing guns on roller-skates. Jeff Bezos, grocer, can change the price of eggs on #AmazonFresh just by #twiddling a knob on the service's back-end.

Does your business, or do your investments, depend in #twiddling, #enshittification, and other modern variations of the #EnclosureActs? Are you sure that's a sound strategy? One that won't blow up in your face?

(Reminds me of why I had such a bad feeling when they announced we were moving to a service economy…and service promptly begin to deteriorate. Cory Doctorow once again explicates some of why and how.)
