Enshitification is /our/ fault, not the enshitifiers
Enshitification is /our/ fault, not the enshitifiers
The whole capitalist infrastructure is designed for corporations to fully exploit profitability to the most extreme possible result. Sure, we can blame capitalism, which is a useless activity. In fact, it’s a harmful stance because blaming capitalism artificially puts solutions out of reach.
Within this capitalist system we are stuck with, can you blame the corporate enshitifiers? Again, same problem. Doing so puts the solution out of reach as corporations who work for their shareholders (not you) laugh all the way to bank.
It’s our fault. We have control and we squander it. You don’t have to solve CAPTCHA puzzles. You don’t have to switch to the clearnet every time a website blocks Tor. You don’t have to send a message to a GAFAM recipient. It’s because spineless pushovers fail to stand up for themselves and solve CAPTCHAs, tolerate cookie walls, and do whatever dance the corps force on us. We need more people to get a constitution and stop licking boots.
Corporations are doing their job (profiting). We are not doing our job. As consumers, it is OUR job to reject the garbage and ensure that we don’t make enshitification profitable.
You're viewing a single thread.
Stop blaming the victims of unfetterwd capitalism. The current state of affairs began with Reagan and Thatcher (and their billionaire backers) that sold the world the idea of trickle-down economics.
You say that from a Cloudflare node, @HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works. The “victim blame” card is obviously a silly failure here, as is your analogy. You may be forced to toil for shit wages under Reaganomics because if you don’t, you suffer more. But this is not true of CAPTCHAs. Stop pretending you must solve a CAPTCHA, when in fact you’re just too lazy to not play the victim and send your correspondence by snail mail instead of webmail. You choose to be a victim when you choose to interact with enshitified resources, so you’ll get no respect from me. I respect those who have the constitution to walk away from it, not feed the oppressor.
So we could sit around pointing fingers or we could be the change we want to see in the world
So you're saying that unhoused, impoverished unemployed people have the social capital to change the world?
C'mon buddy. Not everyone is capable of changing anything ... especially when poverty rates and unemployment are spiking.
Ass-u-me things like that based on your personal experience is naive at best.
Well hopefully doing nothing about it works out for ya
