Recommended Posts

Inspired by Cory Doctorow: The 'Enshittification' of TikTok

https://www.wired.com/story/tiktok-platforms-cory-doctorow/?ref=platformer.news

The concept of "enshittification" presents a stark warning to all digital platforms. Initially, a platform thrives by being user-centric, only to later exploit its user base to favor business customers. Eventually, even these business relationships sour as the platform seeks to monopolize all value, leading to its decline. This cycle not only undermines trust but can spell doom for once-thriving online communities and forums.

Enshittification just keeps happening - The Hustle

  • How can we, as stewards of our communities, remain vigilant against the early signs of enshittification? Are there specific indicators we should watch for that suggest a shift away from user-centric values?
  • What strategies can be implemented to balance business objectives with the needs and expectations of our user base, ensuring the long-term health and integrity of our platforms?
