@yoginho:   “This moment we're living through, this Great Enshittening, is a material phenomenon, much like a disease, with symptoms, a mechanism and an epidemiology.” by Cory Doctorow https://www.theguardian.com/ ...

Dave Watson / @unisondave:   How did Amazon get so rubbish? Enshittification: 1 platforms are good to their users. 2 abuse their users to make things better for their business customers. 3 abuse customers to claw back all the value for themselves - and become a giant pile of shit. https://www.theguardian.com/ ...

Joe Bernstein / @bernstein:   For @nytimes, I profiled @doctorow https://www.nytimes.com/...

@naomi_fowler:   Everyone who uses Amazon should read this: “Now Amazon is in the terminal stage. We're all still stuck to the platform, but we get less and less value out of it.” Bad for customers, sellers, business (and definitely bad for fair taxes) https://www.theguardian.com/ ...

Harvey G. Cohen / @cultrhack:   .@Doctorow on a topic I've covered here too: how major consumer sites like Amazon lure us initially w/good service & prices, then purposely get shitty & expensive over time. Amazon WAS a pleasant curated well-priced site respecting the culture—not no more. https://www.theguardian.com/ ...

Keir Milburn / @keirmilburn:   In our Radical Abundance book we argue what @doctorow calls the ‘enshitification of the internet’ is part of a wider trend in which private provision is becoming increasingly shit or even being withdrawn entirely for some. We call it Bullshit Abundance https://www.theguardian.com/ ...

@economicsinten:   Great article as always by @doctorow and (hint, hint) this is what our next play is all about! Look out for in December. https://www.theguardian.com/ ...

Matthew Fraser / @frasermatthew:   The 3 phases of “enshittification”: 1) Platforms are good to their users. 2) They abuse users to make things better for their business customers. 3) They abuse those customers to claw back all the value for themselves - and become a giant pile of shit. https://www.theguardian.com/ ...

Royce Wilson / @roycewilsonau:   Interesting piece here from Cory Doctorow about enshittification, particularly as it relates to Amazon (US). Amazon AU works a bit differently, from what I gather, but it's still full of sellers with names like my cat walked over the keyboard. https://www.theguardian.com/ ...
