Complaining about Cory Doctorow and Capitalism
Edit and Preface: If you're going to reply to this defending Doctorow, save your words. You can't convince me otherwise; I disagree fundamentally with him, because he's a capitalist (he just wants a different variety of capitalism) and as the last sentence of this post clearly states, I'm not. I don't think he's right about anything, as he's only "right" if you consider capitalism something worth saving (and even then his ideas ignore human cost and flaws), which I don't. He's trying to slap a band aid on an arterial bleed.
Original post:
Reminder: Cory Doctorow isn't worth listening to. The problem isn't "enshittification", it's Capitalism, and while he believes you can fix both (his latest is saying the former can be fixed by legalizing reverse engineering, which while needed is absolutely not enough).
Allowing reverse engineering and/or right-to-repair don't stop companies from building absolute trash, and wouldn't stop companies from doing anticompetitive shit anyway.
Capitalism needs to die.
