Mierdificación : Qué hacer ante la apropiación de Internet por las grandes te

We are living in the Enshittification, the Great Shittification, an era in which the services that matter to us are turning into enormous piles of crap. When Cory Doctorow coined the term enshittification, he was diagnosing the state of the digital world and how it affects our lives. As a word, it captures the essence of a world going downhill. As an idea, it explains why it's going downhill, who is to blame, and what to do about the misogyny, conspiracy theories, surveillance, manipulation, and fraud that have taken over the internet. Shittification isn't a bug; it's a technique adopted by every platform, from X to TikTok, Amazon to Apple: first, they lure users to their platforms; then, they lure in the companies that could profit from this newly formed audience; and finally, they squeeze both for their own gain. Tech giants attract users with convenience and then degrade their services over time, draining profits at the expense of the user experience. In Shierdification, Doctorow outlines the symptoms, diagnosis, and cure for these metastatic platforms.
