Ensh*tification: Why Everything Suddenly Got Worse and What To Do About It
Why Everything Suddenly Got Worse and What To Do About It
Book •
In Cory Doctorow's book, he explains the concept of "Ensh*tification" as the process by which online platforms degrade in quality over time.
This degradation typically follows a predictable cycle where platforms initially benefit users to attract them, then exploit those users to benefit business partners, and finally, exploit both users and partners to extract maximum value for shareholders, with Cory also diving into anti-circumvention law.
