Shareholder value - how strange it only benefits shareholders for a short time?

I also liked your talk about enshittification and why it's a bad idea, though I'm not one of your techie audience. I am the opposite of techie (though I'm still interested in it).

It's interesting that in the 1800s, people willing to work in factories were paid well - by their standards. Most of the people flooding to the factories were peasants who had rarely seen money except to pay their rent, so they thought they were getting paid a lot. They weren't. Then as more and more people left the land and got work in factories... their pay and conditions dropped through the floor.

Plus ca change, plus c'est le meme chose.
