But just think of all the people that didn’t have to receive a paycheck because of all this efficiency!

It’s really incredible how the supposedly unassailable judgement of mass consumer preference consistently leads our society to produce worse shit so we can have more or it, and rewards the chief enshittifiers with mega yachts.

They have powerful untaxed monopolies in excess of the economic value tech companies themselves generate.

At some point, the value of their services come from the people who use their sites.
