A theory why the internet is going down the toilet
If you’ve ever felt like your favorite app or website keeps getting worse, Cory Doctorow has a word for it — and now, a whole book. “Enshittification” lays out how tech platforms win over users, then businesses, and finally ruin the experience for everyone in pursuit of profit. Doctorow argues that today’s internet giants — from Amazon to Meta — aren’t broken by accident; they’re following a predictable cycle. His solution? More competition, smarter regulation, and the freedom to leave bad platforms behind. Greg Rosalsky with NPR has the full story on why eventually everything sucks.
