Fantastic talk. Unfortunately, the last question was spot on - Cory’s ideas require political action.
But that political process is corrupted by the very companies we need action against.

Good point. Why isn’t this on peertube?
@krey @z3n0x I’m watching it now but through a front-end with no ads 🤷

There was a piped link posted of this earlier, but it was unwatchable because their servers couldn’t handle the load
I mean, it proves his point.
These are pie in the sky plans. I thought he was going to come up with a technical solution.
Political action can happen, and probably needs to happen, so I am glad there are at least some still pushing for it. It’s up to the rest of us to make it a technical reality though.
let’s see what the Digital Markets Act will accomplish. it’s a slow process for sure …

The topic is very interesting to me but the video is almost an hour long with no slides. Does anybody have a transcript or outline of the talk?
I’m not trying to troll or be sarcastic. I’d really appreciate the option to skim it without having to watch the full video. Thanks a lot!
this talk is basically a short version of Cory’s new book. To get a gist of it, check out reviews like: https://apnews.com/article/internet-con-doctorow-book-review-9a5645c075fa495f701481d50f3917c8

You could say “encrudification” if you’re worried about typing bad words on the internet.
you know what, I didn’t even notice (just copied from video). Title edited.
People having to self censor on the internet to appease advertisers is just another part of enshittification
The issue is corruption. Plans like this may succeed in EU but it’s too late for US. With the supreme court being filled with millionaires’ puppets, religious fanatics and rapists for the next 20 years no meaningful change will happen.
