Global investment vampires have positioned themselves to suck our libraries dry
Global investment vampires have positioned themselves to suck our libraries dry
Looks like the enshittification of op-eds/essays is in full swing here.
The author continually undermines her own points (via parenthesis! Because it’s so quirky!) and repeatedly uses a buzzword that does not apply to the scenario she’s describing.
This isn’t the same process of enshittification that happened to Amazon et al, this is just corporate takeover of our public services, which goes back way further than a few websites. It’s straight-up capitalist cronyism. But I guess that wouldn’t get as many clicks from edgy teenagers who think Cory Doctorow is a literal prophet.
I feel like I’m not reading the same article as you are. Can you share an example of where they undermine their own argument? This seems like a pretty well researched and thought out article.
They clearly state their interpretation of enshitification and it seems to me like a valid generalisation and to be applied correctly.
We’re reading the same article. you’re allowed to like it, but that doesn’t make it well-researched or even good. i like lots of crap too.
Also what is everybody’s obsession with YoU nEeD tO PrOvIdE eXaMpLeS any time somebody gives their thoughts on an article? It’s fucking childish and entitled behavior.
