Part 4/10:
Cory Doctorow coined the term "inshitification," describing the lifecycle of technology platforms that go from offering high-quality services to becoming exploitative. Initially, services like Netflix attract customers with low prices and generous sharing options. However, over time, they begin to prioritize profit at the expense of user satisfaction, raising prices and reducing value until they crumble. We are currently witnessing this "great inshitening," where platforms that were once favored have become shells of their former selves.
