Ted Gioia's Odyssey as a Facebook User

I have in the past found Ted Gioia's music journalism quite worthwhile--as with his pieces on the degeneration of music criticism into lifestyle reporting, and the purchase of more old music relative to new as of late. However, his recent item about the decline of Facebook usefully took up rather a different subject. Where the word "enshittification" has come into wide and useful usage, here we have an in-depth personal account of the experience of the enshittification of a major platform from the standpoint of a longtime user that does that much more to further clarify just what enshittification is all about, well worth the time of anyone interested in the subject.
