The enshittification of Google and knowledge writ large is firmly upon us.
Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

On top of that, you'll be losing negotiation power to competition from other buyers trying to panic-buy a new house before the rates go back up.

Is it a casualty of Amazon/ eBooks or an indication that students don't consume books anymore? I fear it's the latter.
Just stopped by the Fordham Lincoln Center bookstore for the first time in a while, and it’s been wholly remodeled—to have zero books, just gear.
Clearly a casualty of Amazon.
But. Man.
I LOVED to wander the bookstore as an undergrad, see all the cool stuff OTHER courses were reading.

I saw a name in an article today that reminded me of a boy that I went to grade school with. I looked him up, to see where he was now. Dead by gun violence. And not the first son his mother had to bury who died by gun violence. I remembered him because he was kind to me. His name was Doc Ware.

And pushing concrete is hard and often unrewarding work.
I do some online teaching, and this is one of the benefits, along with opening up education to people in rural and regional areas. However, to quote a friend, if you want to build a house you gotta push concrete. There are skills you get from face to face that are difficult to replicate with online.
The impression I got from OU was always that it was especially good for folks where the traditional benefits (like full time, campus based) are, for some people, explicitly disbenefits because they're mid-career or have specific care responsibilities that make on-campus study hard too

Great business model! They have to turn a profit somewhere, right? Get the audience (of lonely and poorly socialized males) addicted on an investor-subsidized product (of personalized porn) and then, slowly but inevitably, turn up the cost.
