Óli Gneisti (English)
The #Internet has all these amazing ways to disseminate information that should be controlled by librarians but keep being taken over and rendered useless by marketing departments.
A #Librarian is trying to help you find what you are looking for. A marketing department wants you to find what they are selling.

@oligneisti librarians are just one of the many professions that have failed us by not realising we are now truly living in the digital age.
Digital illiterates, they ceded the keys of the kingdom to whomever knew how to program a web app, no matter morality and ulterior motives.
Some people think that the whole "disruption" narrative is venture capitalist vapor. Its not.
And there is worse to come as more ossified enclaves like the medical and financial guilds get taken over by marketeers.

@oligneisti why should I talk to a librarian, or a publisher or a retailer, or a taxi driver, or a hotelier, or a doctor, or a banker...
I am simply looking at the outcomes. Or rather the pervasive missing-in-action by vast domains.
Whether you like it or not the enshitification of online life is also due to the serious failings of these actors.
Millennia of know-how has not translated into updated digital services. This has been taken advantage of. Nature doesnt like a vacuum.

Have you ever talked to a librarian about the internet? Even back in 2003 when I started my degree in library and information science the internet was a huge part of our training. I was taught by people who were there every step of the way in the development of the internet (except DARPA).
