    Dear article writers:

    PLEASE STOP ANTHROPOMORPHISING CORPORATE ENTITIES.

    They can’t feel terror, or anger, or ‘slam’ some other corporate opponent.

    As an entity, they can make decisions and take actions. Assigning them emotional range gives too much credibility to soulless money making machines whose sole purpose is to create value for their investors.

      They also likely won’t be threatened by it - they’ll either wreck it from outside or weasel their way into it and enshittify it from the inside, as with all things.

      Just one more thing you can thank Google for. Titles wouldn’t be made like this if Google didn’t reward them with traffic.
