And not just landlords, corporations are playing along now too with their cute little subscription models 🤗
Enshitification babeeeeeeee
Enshittification does have a historic term: rent-seeking behavior. It's all about taking more money without creating wealth. Even Adam Smith vehemently opposed this and called it anti free-market, since he wanted the market to also be free from lords.
Now, so much of the US economy is built around rent-seeking and now we're all scratching our heads why China is kicking our asses, and our governments are so corrupt.
Spending a few minutes with an “apolitical” or even non-leftist person kinda shows you how utterly fucked we are lmao these people live to uncritically consume their slop at whatever rate they’re charged. Just a prime example of people who don’t know what is in their best interest
There's also a decently large group who make us look like bloomers, who think that humanity is irredeemable and deserve to die due to climate change etc.
‘Tis why it’s socialism or barbarism
