Cory Doctorow Lazy
Hahahaha that’s rich
I mean I don’t even really like the guy but I gotta admit he’s prolific af
I appreciate his advocacy quite a bit
I’d like to see him do a shift at the warehouse and not get fired
So let me get this right, you’d like to see a guy who has a background in software and has done more advocation for better intellectual property rights, better regulation of corporations and general user roghts than eother of us will likely ever accomplish in our lifetimes.
And you like to put this guy into a warehouse and see him not get fired?
…Wat.
I agree with you. If a person cannot spend 8 hours a day lifting boxes in a warehouse then they are of no value to society. Simple as that.
This needs explanation. Enshittification is a very cromulent word.
^this guy gets it
Idk, the word count is quite high in his post where he coined the term.
And another post where he goes into what enshittification means exactly.
It’s a good word that encapsulates the exploitative goal of platform economies.
This is enshittification: surpluses are first directed to users; then, once they’re locked in, surpluses go to suppliers; then once they’re locked in, the surplus is handed to shareholders and the platform becomes a useless pile of shit.
In fact, enshittification is the reason for the Reddit migration to Lemmy. I wouldn’t be here otherwise, probably.
I found it to be brilliant and very succinct. I love that blog. :)
Definitely an unpopular opinion.
However, the fact that you’re using it to just insult people, it’s lame as hell
Bingo. Downvotes aren’t because they don’t like the term.
Downvotes are because they feel they need to insult people to feel better about themselves
It’s an unpopular opinion community, not an unpopular statement with no context community.
And “stupid” is an ableist word used by lazy people who also don’t care about throwing disabled people under the bus. ¯\(ツ)/¯
Got a better word for the same phenomenon?
Lol
I can’t tell if it’s down voted for not being an unpopular idea or not.
I would guess that it’s being downvoted because it’s just a statement - not a well explained idea. The post itself seems lazy, not the word that’s being criticized with no reason given.
If you downvoted this post, you shouldn’t be allowed on the internet due to being unable to follow the simplest of instructions
Nah, look around the sub, there’s good posts. This is garbage. I don’t really care if this is someone’s unpopular opinion. In my opinion it wasn’t worth a post, so it gets a downvote. This is all subjective, I’m not going to just blindly upvote things just because it might technically fit the literal title of the sub without really being engaging or adding anything insightful. And don’t try to gatekeep the whole internet.
Unpopular opinion - people who use the word “gatekeeping” are wankers
Whew, good thing I didn’t add the “ing” or I’d lose sleep over what you might think of me.
Unpopular opinion - people who use the word, “wankers” are knobs
Unpopular opinion - people who use the word “knobs” are English

Instance-wide rules always apply. mastodon.world/aboutNo rules about voting on this community. This isn’t reddit.
I think we saw example of made up rules, or, one could say, of enshittification.
Truly an unpopular opinion lol
This isn’t an unpopular opinion, it’s objectively incorrect
