Summary
In this mini episode, I vent about the moment I realized everything feels harder than it should, from parking apps to paywalls to bots talking to bots, and I dig into the enshittification of everything, everywhere, all at once. I break down how the obsession with optimization keeps degrading our tools, our platforms, and our attention, why AI productivity hype deserves serious side eye, and what it might cost us if we outsource the parts of ourselves that make us human. All that in more in my latest Substack → The Enshittification of Everything, Everywhere, All at Once When you're done, I'd love your thoughts here in the comments!
