This is something I have also wondered about but I think he’s somewhat discounting the effect “huh, I never knew I could even *be* angry about THING until outrage enabler machine showed me because it discovered outrage generates engagement”
This is extremely clever and funny and worth watching... BUT... there is a battered yet hardy residue of 90s JP Barlow Internet idealism here that wants to believe that if the Internet has gone toxic and shitty, this must be wholly a function of greedy corporations and their algorithms...
lol it’s so genuinely fun seeing Cory take decades of fluency in how these systems are broken and serve it up for a mainstream audiences. Even if you know “enshittification” well, this is worth the watch. And love to @eff.org! youtu.be/d2e-c9SF5nE

I don’t know why but people of all political persuasions resist this fact. It’s one of the few things we have reasonable certainty about the future. Just ask people what they think the fertility rate is in China or India and then ask them to look it up. Surprise!

4. What it means is that, short of murdering a billion people or more, there is nothing anyone can do – or could have done in our lifetimes – to alter the broad trajectory. People have devoted their lives to fighting a mathematical function. 4/12

What’s the LD-50 of Toffifee?

No reason. Just… asking.

Making music is a communal experience, as is listening to it, live or with a group of friends at home. But I get it - making profit doesn't mean one should even understand why any of this is important.

It's not #bandcampfriday til next week, but there's never a bad day to buy some merch, especially if you want to get something in time for gift giving. Only one MLA45 Mixtape left, handful of Funky Xmas CDs - can be personally dedicated to lovers, friends, family etc
