Couple days ago, I wrote that I have issues with the term "enshittification." Nothing against npub1hykucplphuhelaxutcw4jw3vuu7gcg42czhqmk7jhchs8vdga4fsj73p33 (npub1hyk…3p33), because I generally agree with the concept. But I try to be wary of buzzy language that feels too easy to describe phenomena.
This morning, it occurred to me that we already have a slightly-less-buzzy term to describe what is taking place:
Rent Seeking
The ghouls making the internet worse are simply standing in the way of you living your life and asking for more money for the same service. Why? Well because they can, and you don't have a choice.
But we know better, don't we? There's a choice.
