A16z Says You Actually Love Social Media, Enshittification Isn’t Real
a16z-published essay by NYU professor Ruby Thelot argues social media 'enshittification' is a misdiagnosis he calls platform narcissism.
a16z published an essay by NYU professor Ruby Thelot arguing that Cory Doctorow's 'enshittification' concept is a misdiagnosis, claiming users are satisfied with social media and citing an ACSI survey where satisfaction rose 1% to 75 out of 100. 404 Media counters that the cited survey measures app performance rather than user sentiment, and points to polls showing most Americans distrust social media and support stronger oversight. The piece is opinion commentary, not security news.
