Offline is brought to you by Sundays. Out with the old and with the new. It's that time of year, right? Question for you. How old is that giant bag of kibble you bought for your dog that you're still serving to them? Don't ask me that. I bet you don't even. And that's a problem. The solution? Sundays. Sundays was founded by a veterinarian and mom, Dr. Tori Waxman, who got tired of seeing so-called premium dog food full of fillers and synthetics.

So she designed Sundays, air-dried, real food made in a human-grade kitchen, using the same ingredients in care you'd use to cook for yourself and your family. Every bite of Sundays is clean and made from 100% meat and superfoods with no kibble. That means no weird ingredients you can't pronounce and no fillers. compared to Kibble or other brands out there,

Sundays invests 50 times more in its ingredients to ensure premium quality because your dog deserves food made with care, not in the interest of cost cutting. And the best part, you just scoop and serve. No freezer. Serve it. No thawing. No prep. No mess. Just nutrient-rich, clean food that fuels their happiest, healthiest days. So you get more of them to share together. We love Sundays. We'll love Sundays. As soon as he hears that Sunday's food going into the bowl, poof, runs right over. Can't wait to eat it.

One day Mark Zuckerberg arises from his sarcophagus and he says,arken unto me, brothers and sisters, for I have had a vision.

I know that I told you that your future would consist of arguing with your most racist uncle,

using the primitive text interface I created in my Harvard dorm room to non-consensually rate the fuckability of undergraduates.

However, the real truth is that I'm going to convert you and everyone you love

into a legless, sexless, low polygon, heavily surreal cartoon character so that I can imprison you

in a virtual world I stole from a 25-year-old satirical cyberpunk novel that I call the Metaverse.

And that's the final stage, right? The giant pile of shit.

I'm John Favro, and you just heard from today's guest, journalist, blogger, and

science fiction writer, Corey Doctro.

Corey sat down with me to talk about inshittification, a term he coined to describe a process

that we're all unfortunately too familiar with. The idea that everything

online, sometime over the last decade, has become substantially worse. Nazis on Twitter,

AI slop on Facebook, shopping on Amazon, influencer-sponsored supplements on Instagram, etc, etc,

etc. Corey put together a phenomenal book where he lays out his theory of inshittification,

that platforms attract users and businesses with unsustainable incentives, trap them, and then

extract as much capital from them as possible, making the experience on those platforms

shittier and shittier and shittier. You should absolutely check out the book.

Corey lays out how this process

has happened to Twitter, Facebook, Amazon, even the iPhone, and lays out a theory of what we can do about it.
