Here is how platforms die: First, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die.

I call this enshittification, and it is a seemingly inevitable consequence arising from the combination of the ease of changing how a platform allocates value, combined with the nature of a "two-sided market," where a platform sits between buyers and sellers, hold each hostage to the other, raking off an ever-larger share of the value that passes between them.

Because he's r-slurred. Not going to read the rest of his slop,

The genuine need for a neologism in this case plus the temptation to write things you couldn't when working the tech desk at a real newspaper. Same reason most vice headlines contained profanity or street slang.

why are people calling this "gay"? as a white man, this proud tradition is part of my heritage. the buck breakers are no different to the pionnering men who tamed a horse for the first time, or built a bridge across a raging current. these are the stories of how we overcame nature, and while outdated to some, they are part of a proud history of conquering the wild which allowed us to have all the modern amenities we have today. buck breaking is a complex and beautiful tradition and im happy to say my ancestors broke bucks.
