The enshittification of your life (part 1)

About this episode

Alan Averill discusses the concept of 'enshittification' and its implications for the music industry and society.

I learnt a new word: 'enshittification', stage 1 is attraction, stage 2 is abuse and stage 3 is extraction....how platforms lure people in and slowly once they have audience capture and people rely on them begin turning the screw and abusing users, I take this word and run with it into the brick wall of the music industry and culture at large. A continuation of the theme.....why nothing feels the same anymore....are we just creating a society that is a playground for the rich? the show is looking for sponsors....if you think this is something you are interested in, get in touch Alan.averill@gmail.com follow me nemtheanga_primordial primordial_official on the gram support the show over at : https://patreon.com/AlanAverill the band in add number one : DEAMONOLITH youtube.com/@deamonolith facebook.com/DEAMONOLITH instagram.com/deamonolith_official_pl the band and label in add two : Buy Online - Achetez en ligne: https://shop.volumebrutal.com/ Facebook -  https://www.facebook.com/volumebrutalassociation/ Primordial on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/artist/0BZr6WHaejNA63uhZZZZek?si=yFFV8ypSSDOESUX62_0TzQ For info on my work as a booking agent go to…
