  Enshittification, AI slop and fascism are America’s greatest exports. And that’s not even a joke.

        I have a feeling it probably must be though. What other countries are pumping out literal metric ton annually?

  I think enshitification is a product of public traded companies promising infinite growth, not necessarily a problem of US only companies.

    It’s also a consequence of low taxes on capital gains and corporate profits.

    When those taxes were higher it made more sense to reinvest the profits back into your own company. You’d build a reputation and a structure that would pay out you and your family for a hundred years.

    Now the dream is to build up a company just enough to sell it to some megacorp and cash out asap, with you and your family living off of investment money that only increases over time.
