@steven@zeroes.caI keep getting tech business services ads on Youtube, and it's absolutely wild how these people think SAAS and per-user billing are selling points.
@steven@zeroes.caYou want me to send you my data, so that you can run it through your black box, with me having no knowledge or control over what you do with it?
And you want me to pay you for that?
And you want me to pay you for every single employee I have, every single month, even though the marginal cost of software is $0 and the only per-user costs you might have are in things that actively hurt me?
Why would you put that in your marketing!
@kkarhan@infosec.space@steven I guess those doing #SaaS #Enshittification have suffered such extreme #BrainRot that they actually believe their #Marketing bs!
- Like it rarely makes sense to do #subscription bs and charge per user/device unless there's like actual, recurring costs (i.e. it's a #ManagedService like #eMail where very real #Storage and #Bandwith and #Infrastructure costs exists...
@steven@zeroes.ca@kkarhan Except for the fact that the people who authorize software are not the people who have to use software, and in many cases those managers don't really care about the long term.
Even if it's not what makes sense for employees or long-term business owners, it could be what makes sense for management and CEOs.
@kkarhan@steven yes, andI don't want to be part of such a shitshow.
- I'd rather quit than use a shitty tech stack or force someone to use a shitty tech stack.
Cuz if I as #sysadmin don't say no to #Enshittification, I can't expect anyone else to do the same!
