    Fair point on the fact that we aren’t his target audience. But I dislike Enshitification for another reason that it feels exploitative of a cultural nostalgia over proprietary digital platforms when they were never good in the first place.

    Its probably more me pointing out how the NYT has then further sanitized him down.

      imo he didn’t set out to exploit that nostalgia and has said that ‘beloved’ platforms of the past went through the same process, not his fault if people have rose-tinted glasses for that period

      It’s not like he’s rocking a clippy pfp
