  • I would suggest redirecting slightly. Every single publicly traded tech company eventually fully enshittifies into predatory ad/data revenue generation due to the fundamental requirement that they not only generate profit, but that they consistently generate growth.

    I could create an amazing app, sell it for $5, and if 5 million people download it and I don’t sell out or incorporate and go public, I could just cruise on it and retire happily. There’s no intrinsic pressure to switch profit models because I don’t owe anybody shit.












  • I think this may be a relatively effective angle for making MAGA second guess themselves. The “did I do a good job daddy?” characterization is accurate but also pushed hard against their completely unearned but overactive sense of individualism and independence.

    Wonder if anybody’s had any luck making red hats deeply uncomfortable with themselves this way.
