"Enshittification is a pattern where online services and products experience a decline in quality over time. It is observed as platforms transition through several stages: initially offering high-quality services to attract users, then shifting to favor business customers to increase profitability, and finally focusing on maximizing profits for shareholders at the expense of both users and business customers. This process results in a significant deterioration of the user experience. A variety of platforms have been described as examples of this, including Airbnb, Amazon, Facebook, Google Search, Twitter, Netflix, Bandcamp, YouTube, Reddit, Uber, and Unity.
The neologism "enshittification" was coined by writer Cory Doctorow in November 2022 to describe this phenomenon. The American Dialect Society recognized the term's relevance and impact by selecting it as its 2023 Word of the Year. Doctorow has also referred to this concept as platform decay, emphasizing the inevitable decline in service quality due to these profit-driven changes.
According to Cory Doctorow:
Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die. I call this enshittification, and it is a seemingly inevitable consequence arising from the combination of the ease of changing how a platform allocates value, combined with the nature of a "two sided market", where a platform sits between buyers and sellers, hold each hostage to the other, raking off an ever-larger share of the value that passes between them.
On the bloody hand issue - I watched Martenson's first video on this last night. He had four interviews of witnesses that were in the bleachers. One of them said she knew Trump had been hit when she saw his bloody palm. This was before he got back up.

AND maybe to his own point, who knows? Why is Malone's url malone.,news, and not substack anywhere in it ... hmmmmm
Sounds legit.
Search engine wise, I want to get more if my work also posted on my WordPress site. It gets picked up by search engines better than substack

Eh. People have unreliable memories though. And still couldve been paid crisis actor.
My Telegram chat has someone's collection of searching for bloody palm photos and finding none. https://t.me/deNutrientsChat/42538?single
