MLMs are the mirror-world version of community organizing
This week on my podcast, I read MLMs are the mirror-world version of community organizing, a recent post from my Pluralistic newsletter. MLMs prey on the poor and desperate: women, people of color, people in dying small towns and decaying rustbelt cities. It’s not just that these people are desperate – it’s that they only... <a href="https://craphound.com/overclocked/2025/02/09/mlms-are-the-mirror-world-version-of-community-organizing/" class="more-link" title="Read MLMs are the mirror-world version of community organizing">more <i class="fa fa-chevron-right"></i></a>

Enshittification isn’t caused by venture capital
This week on my podcast, I’m reading “Enshittification isn’t caused by venture capital,” the latest post from my Pluralistic.net blog. It’s about the new “Free Our Feeds” project and why I think the existence of Mastodon doesn’t mean we shouldn’t pay attention to making Bluesky as free as possible. When tech critics fail to ask... <a href="https://craphound.com/overclocked/2025/01/20/enshittification-isnt-caused-by-venture-capital/" class="more-link" title="Read Enshittification isn’t caused by venture capital">more <i class="fa fa-chevron-right"></i></a>
