Enshittification isn't caused by venture capital

Enshittification is caused by greed and opportunity. Anything that can be exploited for profit will be exploited --- eventually.<p>Venture capital is just an enhanced and amplified version of it.

Cory Doctorow&#x27;s clarification of <i>enshittification as a result of collapsing constraints</i> is worth considering. I&#x27;d never before thought of it as an application of the Theory of Constraints.<p>Also, the &quot;Capitalism v. Capitalism&quot; mentioned--tech monopolies vs. businesses trapped on their platforms--is well-put. It&#x27;s always been a part of his talks on enshittification, but few seem to hear that part.<p>I&#x27;m way too unfamiliar with Bluesky&#x2F;Atproto to comment, but I liked the motive he described: &quot;why leave 20 million people at risk of enshittification...&quot;
