      When your only claim to fame is jamming the word “shit” into other words…

      You need to milk all that ad money out of it you can.

        FWIW Cory Doctorow was famous before coining that word. He’s done a lot of great work. You should research before saying things.

    We just need to go back to paying for services. Free free free everything forever is not a sustainable business model. That’s why the big players just sell you to advertisers instead. And everyone is getting pretty grossed out about how much data that actually takes on you, so we’re passing privacy laws. Those laws mean these services can’t be free anymore.

    Good. They shouldn’t be free.

      EXACTLY! That’s why Streaming Services, Online Shopping and tech producers like Apple have NOT begun to Enshittify!
