Talking to Cory Doctorow about #Enshittification is like overclocking your brain. Please enjoy our latest edition but you might want to listen on 0.75 speed.
“Enshittification” is the word of the moment. It’s the reason Google is all ads and Amazon serves you crappy overpriced products. Cory Doctorow, who coined the term, joins @nndroid.bsky.social and @rafaelbehr.bsky.social to discuss how we can combat it ➡️ linktr.ee/ohgodwhatnowpod
