Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

Apropos of absolutely nothing, I swear, I thought this might be a fine time to revisit Cory Doctorow's "enshittification" essay.

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.

Was there ever a time when it wasn't shitty?

Yeah, the essay isn't really about Tiktok, I just don't like changing original headlines.
