We're going to through the "enshittification" as a society. There was the Great Recession, the DotCom Bust, the Great Inflation, etc.
What is going to matter, is can we use this "enshittification" to benefit society by increasing wages, encouraging social mobility, protecting and enshrining rights for marginalized communities, etc. Building a more inclusive society.
We're at the end stage of capitalism.
A late stage, but not the end. It can get much worse.
We'd all like to think the times we exist in are the most important, the most momentous times. But really everything will probably circle the drain, getting worse and worse for centuries(?) before any real "collapse" happens.
That would probably be true if climate change wasn't about to fuck everything up.
Nah you're just dramatising because you've downsized
this is the ultimate result of shareholder theory. after a company hits their efficiency stride based on its resources and theres no more innovation to fuel profit, what else can it do but make shit smaller/less effective/worse. we just need an economic theory that includes broader society in the scope of fiduciary duties that businesses will actually take seriously.
Google can always try to to space lol
