Here’s a snippet from Cory Doctorow’s latest blog post. Worth reading it all.
“Everywhere you look online, you see giant teddybears. Think of Joe Rogan being handed hundreds of millions of dollars to relocate his podcast to Spotify, an also-ran podcast platform that is desperately trying to capture the medium of podcasting, turning an open protocol into a proprietary, enclosed, Spotify-exclusive content stream.”
You can do worse than listen to Cory Doctorow explain enshittification and techno-feudalism on the latest season of the CBC “understood” podcast, “Who Broke the Internet?”
