    In a word: enshittification.

    Honestly, people should have to go back to school when the turn 70 for a year to get updated. Plenty of folks still think capitalism runs on “make a good product at a good price.”

      Maybe two months every decade? I’ll be honest, it’s pretty easy to be out of touch long before you’re 70.

      Plenty of folks still think capitalism runs on “make a good product at a good price.”

      It does!

      Trouble is in the digital world we don’t have products anymore, we have services. And those run on “make it shit without a subscription”.

      And “good product at a good price” only works without advertising if it’s SO good that it gets advertised by word of mouth.

      So it’s like 20-30% true.
