What is a #platform after all?

In our case it’s a part of the www having one owner and many users usually not affiliated otherwise. The owner being the sole source of rules and execution thereof, covering financial loss or benefit. Usually without a democratic process, but arbitrary, self-invented rules and policing.

They have in common a #feudal #asymmetry of power between the owners and the users. The users are many, but have very little #agency and face #arbitrariness. The owners are few and reside behind processes. Try to get a person with power to decide and act on the phone (let alone face-to-face) to hear appeal or resolve an issue, good luck.

Often platforms are what greed condensates to and #enshittification is their fate.
