Brands have always taken full credit for their work.
The co-creators stayed invisible.
This was The Way.

there's an awesome roundup of #TheNewNew.

@AirFranceUS this level of customer support (especially after a problem your bad tech created in the first place) is legendarily bad.
@Delta I booked through you all. Platinum status. Premium card holder. Dealing with time wasting BS. Disappointed so many times over.

This is my favorite new newsletter. It is from The Verge, called Installer, written by David Pierce. It's trending in the tech circles for many good reasons.
And, in his 10th weekly issue, a recommendation from me made it into his Crowdsourced segment:

In all those endeavors, Google has dropped a new AI-powered tool that may help me out. buff.ly/45z0AKL

It's back for the 26th time! My personal newsletter, The New New, has dropped.
To get super heady for this issue, I didnโt let enshittification and cornplating get in the way of my foomscrolling.
Yup, that sentence happened.
