  FWIW Cory Doctorow was famous before coining that word. He’s done a lot of great work. You should research before saying things.

        Yeah, I saw those on Wikipedia…

        Honestly the only impressive bit was an xkcd character is based in him.

        Like, you know it’s not amount the amount of awards, it’s the quality?

        Like this Prometheus awards, those are just for libertarians and they have like five winners a year.

      So hard to lift a finger to do the work yourself while your shitposting. Follow your own handle’s advice.

  Let’s skip for a moment that, as other posters already showed, Cory Doctorow was already famous before coining the word. As in: let’s pretend that his only achievement was indeed to coin the word “enshittification”.

  He noticed a rather nasty pattern in a system used by 2/3 of the world population, described it, labelled it, identified potential causes and solutions. It wasn’t just “lol lmao he jammed the word «shit» into another X-D”, even if you’re pretending otherwise. It’s a big fucking deal.

  CD is a beast. One hell of a great guy. I have actually donated money to some of his more worthy causes before.

  Ft It’s kind of a s*** hole though. And for the paywall to abruptly block you outright not a single word not a hook, which is kind of weird because it’s a little bit against what he stands for I know it’s not apples to apples…

  I read the article. It’s kind of disappointing, somewhat of a Nothing Burger.
