Breaking Free.

In the new report Breaking Free: Pathways to a fair technological future, the Norwegian Consumer Council has delved into enshittification and how to resist it. The report shows how this phenomenon affects both consumers and society at large, but that it is possible to turn the tide.

We’re always going to have a system that optimises (aka is greedy), it’s just a practical necessity. The issue is what gets optimised. The utopian solution is not to eliminate greed but to make incentives that lets people be greedy for maximum overall happiness (ie make sure people get paid the most when everyone is happiest with the outcome and the environment is minimally affected, etc).
