| | | Overcoming Enshittification:Create Content for People, Not Platforms |
|
| | Merriam-Webster Dictionary recently highlighted the word โenshittification,โ coined by writer Cory Doctorow. The slang word, of course, caught my attention. Organizational psychologist Adam Grant argues, โa little profanity shows that youโre being real and you do give a damn.โ My conclusion? Anyone bold enough to name a problem โenshittificationโ is serious about it. |
