Enshitification the Canadian edition.

"It’s a far cry from today’s flying experience, as passengers strain to fit into ever-shrinking seats, contend with new fees for previously included features and fight for compensation following cancelled and delayed flights. The road here was paved by the deregulation of the airline industry and the dominance of Air Canada and WestJet over the Canadian market"

Ah, the classic tale of digital betrayal: buy an app, watch it morph into a sneaky subscription service with AI features you never wanted. 🤖💰 Enjoy the privilege of "owning" nothing while being digitally mugged for updates. 📲👎

American Airlines Cuts JFK Moving Walkway — Because You Spend More When You Struggle - this is exactly what I mean when I point out that over the years business has become more and more predatory. All business. From subscriptions, limited ownership rights, right-to-repair, you name it. Corporations are after our $$, our data, and our lives. We exist only to feed the machine and provide labor to stoke corporate wealth. #PredatoryCapitalism #PredatoryBusiness #ConsumerProtection #ConsumerRights https://viewfromthewing.com/american-airlines-cuts-jfk-moving-walkway-because-you-spend-more-when-you-struggle/
