Unfortunately, they all seem to be working from the techno-feudalism playbook. It started when tech companies realized they could make more by making us rent software instead of selling it to us, and it’s spread.

Techno-feudalism sounds cooler than enshitification and way cooler than what it is.

Enshitification is the journey, techno-feudalism is the destination.
