Sure, people hate tech. And tech clearly hates its own customers. So why hasn't something that doesn't hate its own customers disrupted tech? If anything, the enshittification is just getting worse. Prime video's random ads alone should have led to mass cancellations but it's not happening, is it? So what exactly will lead to people walking away as opposed to grumbling as things keep getting worse and worse?
Reminds me a lot of politics in the United States at this point: stuck with two disappointing parties with almost no chance of a third party really shaking things up because the one thing they can agree on is that a third party should never arise.
- CaptainFever 2y agoIf tech and the customers hate each other, they wouldn't be making revenue. Of course, there's a couple of exceptions (e.g. monopolies, addictions) but that doesn't really describe AI for example. I think the answer is that people simply do like the tech. We voluntarily use social media platforms (nosurfing is possible), and the average person clearly finds great use in ChatGPT, MidJourney, Character and AI in general. Essentially -- the complaining doesn't represent what the market (the people) actually want. It's controversial for sure but the willing customer base is large enough.
