    This is an important point. Just because a platform is profitable, doesn’t mean it hasn’t been enshitified. It’s far more likely to have been enshitified to drive profits, imo.

      And the underlying problem is capitalism itself. There’s nothing wrong with making money. But capitalism is based on the pursuit of infinite growth and profit, which of course is impossible, which means that every capitalist enterprise is doomed to follow the same predicable path of enshittification and eventually collapse.

      Capitalism is a plague on society—a malignant cancer on humanity.
