@henryfudgeofficial: Why does every app slowly get worse over time? Today we’re looking at network economics and techno-feudalism, and how these technofeudalists seem to be trading their quasi rents for real rents. Welcome to the maths of enshitification #technofeudalism #socialmedia #venturecapital #rentierblackhole #economics
thought the rentier black hole wouldn't be mentioned for this one guess i was wrong

Yeah cos they’re operating on a model of infinite growth in a finite world. Once the consumer base stagnates, they have to enshitify the service.

That is the basis of capitalism, make as much as you can while giving as least as possible. Exploitation

I accidentaly gained 125 000 views with my post about Ozempic. Drug publicity should be banned in theory but I bet Facebook earned well. There are only 900 000 Estonians in Estonia.

And then we have wonderful websites like Craigslist. Simple and easy to use. Never updated and delivering the exact same experience decades later. Amazing what happens if you just act as a good forum and don’t mess with things

I think it’s much simpler than this for social media, if your parents use a platform, then your children don’t use that platform 🤣

Enshiterfication is my favourite word these days. Even governments suffer from it

Twitter isn't dead, it's now just a hard core porn platform masquerading as a right wing rant forum...

Marx already noted that profits tend to decrease over time. Ultimately any company reaches a point where the only way to satisfy the need for increasing profits is to cut costs and/or raise prices. That’s your entshittification. Taken further, it’s a distortion because the users create the value but don’t own it ie your worker’s relationship to the means of production

what's this phenomenon called again? 😏
but truly, people are getting better at jumping to new networks/apps when they get greedy, we've just had a lot of practice at this point

Absolutely love substack, as a writer and as a reader... And I'm just waiting on the day meta barge in and ruin the app... Hoping they don't! The momentum on there at the moment is fantastic. And seeing more and more people join.

The clear case of Uber. It lost $31 billion before a single quarterly profit. Allowed founders to prove “proof of concept “ and went public and became wildly wealthy. But operating losses can’t go on forever—so driver reimbursement decreases and fares increase
