Also layoffs temporarily raise the stock price, it’s probably more costly in the long run… but who cares as long as the numbers go up for a bit and everyone gets bonuses.
This isn’t even really normal entshitification, they added videos and some music cheap Spotify knockoff to their fast delivery flat rate. Nobody asked them to.
Then they slowly raised the price, essentially locking everyone that just wanted free fast delivery into a video streaming service and kept increasing the price.
They did this to force existing subscribers into their “new” business idea of a video streaming service, when they couldn’t yet compete with the competition back then. Good news for them, their competitors are shit now.
Now they can include advertisements in it too and add more expensive advertisement free tiers. Essentially increasing the price again, but hiding it so people can’t ask for subscription fees back in Europe.
Do they really think most people have forgotten they just wanted a fast delivery flat rate? They will never offer their delivery flat rate without video and all that stuff again, only if a legislature would force them.

Most of the universe is empty, most of the stuff that isn’t emptiness is called matter. Most of that matter is dead.
But you’re alive, right now. In time for looking at memes on the internet. In perspective regarding the universe, you’re rare, much less common than stars. Feeling insignificant is like galactic imposter syndrome.
Property developer and CEO Tim Gurner: “We need to see unemployment rise. Unemployment has to jump 40, 50 percent in my view. We need to see pain in the economy. We need to remind people that they work for the employer, not the other way around.”
This goes right into my spreadsheet of examples how winning at capitalism does not require much intelligence or foresight. In fact, too much of either hurts your chances.

It’s almost funny how absolutely oblivious people like him are to their actions. Even if there wasn’t a camera… he probably really thinks women are into this kind of harassment.
So buying a used refurbished pixel phone from a place not associated with google and putting GrapheneOS or something on it would be best? That’s probably also a way to save money.
Interesting read, I guess testing on mice is all you can do the behavioral part. But the methods section doesn’t state any weaknesses, I know it’s nor required but you know.
At the end of the 3-week-long exposure, behavioral testing began. During the open-field test, mice were allowed to explore a low-lit chamber for 90 min with spontaneous movements monitored in the x-, y-, and z-directions. Several parameters to measure behavioral performance were recorded, including distance traveled, rearing activity, and duration in the center. Surprisingly, we found that acute exposure to PS-MPs induced an increase in distance traveled, which was more pronounced in older animals (Figure 3A–D). Similarly, both young and old PS-MP-exposed mice reared significantly more in the open-field, as compared to age-matched controls (Figure 3E–H). Young PS-MP-exposed mice did not spend more time in the center of the chamber overall (Figure 3J), but both low- and high-dose groups spent more time in the center when analyzed as a function of time (Figure 3I). Low- and medium-dose older animals also showed an increased duration in the center (Figure 3K,L).
I’m always interested in what that impact would be compared to industrial impacts for different countries/industries. If it’s not used to excuse apathy, correct information can help informing personal action.
