39. Cory Doctorow: Enshittification - Granville Island Stage - Vancouver - Oct 23, 2025
EVENT DESCRIPTION At last, a word has been coined that encapsulates our modern era, that eloquently sums up the pressing issues of our times: Enshittification. The term—which creator Cory Doctorow describes as a diagnosis about the state of exploitative online services, and the disheartening digital world as a whole—resonated so strongly that the American Dialect Society named it the 2023 Word of the Year, and it was cited as an inspiration for the 2025 season of Black Mirror. With incisive…

Ok jokes about #enshittification aside, I was happy to just discover that #Canadian show #Flashpoint was added to #Netflix.

Phew finally managed to track down a copy of “Enshittification” by @…
Was weirdly hard to find it in NYC today! I tried multiple bookstores and had to wonder around multiple floors of the Union Sq. Barnes and Noble to find a sole copy tucked away on a sociology shelf.

In either case - I have it and I’m delighted to be reading it!!

Why should we rent the essentials of daily life we already own? Paywalling them behind monthly fees is absurd.
Imagine being told your stove won’t cook dinner unless you’ve paid this month’s subscription, it’s the same scammy logic as locking the full performance of a car you already bought behind a monthly fee.
Enshittification is just corporations selling you the same thing twice, and calling it ‘innovation.’

Literal #enshittification of everything. As far as I can tell, it’s not April 1st today. https://boingboing.net/2025/10/23/kohler-toilet-camer…

A good, insightful article from Rupert Goodwins (who still isn't on Fedi - why not?!) about the recent purchase of Arduino by Qualcomm and how it's definitely not a good thing.

"An "AI actor" named Tilly Norwood has been causing a stir after its Dutch creators said the synthetic performer is in talks with talent agencies.
Norwood could be mistaken for a young, aspiring actress when one glances at its social media. The brunette poses for photos and showcases a fully AI-generated comedy sketch, where it is described as having "girl next door vibes.""

Ah, the smell of #desperation / #enshittification - one washed up shit-i-fied social media platform (#Reddit) begging for users/advertisers/relevance on _another_ shit-i-fied social media platform (

I have not been following the oatmeal much in the last years. This one is pretty good and I thought it's interesting that he quit Instagram (I don't knew when) because they "block content from my followers unless I pay them large sums of money." ... Artists need to understand this. And Universities. And everybody. #enshittification
