Sarcastic jibe targets adtech and the decline of journalism
Original: Goodness, I can’t think of anything… can you? # enshittification # internet # journalism # adtech
Developer and activist Aral Balkan posted a sarcastic remark inviting readers to guess what he 'can't think of', tagging it with 'enshittification', internet, journalism and adtech. The post mocks the state of the ad-funded web and its corrosive effect on online journalism, using the popular term coined by Cory Doctorow to describe platforms degrading over time.
Why now: People are discussing how advertising-driven business models are degrading both the internet and journalism.
