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.
I'm sorry if I upset you, I was just trying to understand your position better. Personally I don't feel like this example undermines the whole argument, its an acknowledgment of a limitation of the writers perspective. It also looks to have been updated.
"That’s because OverDrive, a private corporation, has a monopoly on managing the availability and distribution of ebooks and audiobooks for government-funded public libraries in North America. (I looked for exact current numbers, but turns out that would require the time and resources of a professional journalist.1 Best I could do: as of December 2019, OverDrive controlled digital lending for “more than 95% of public libraries in the US and Canada”.2)"
@NoisemakerGeneral @some_guy "Red, White & Royal Blue" by Casey McQuiston is a romantic novel. Find out how two friends were forced to fake a friendship for political reasons, but their feelings deepened into a secret romance that challenges their lives and the world's perception. https://bit.ly/445UfVI
