The cinic in me thinks that enshitification is less of an accident, and more of a deliberate tactic to screw shareholders out of their money and leave them holding the bag.
I think this advice is just as important for shareholders. Better yet, maybe it's time for more user-stakeholdrrship in the platforms they use. Wether that takes the form of cooperative, government funded, or paid subscriber only models. What's clear is profit-driven tech enterprised just endlessly crash and burn, and are too unstable for the betterment of society.
