They don't even give you the full cookies. Just half size bites. Still charge $8.

Bites are 1 oz and full sized cookies are 4 oz. So 12/4=3 cookies equivalent. My nearest Penn Station has 1 cookie@$2.79 so that is $8.37 for 3. So $7.99 is cheaper.

We didn't say AVERAGE HUMAN BITES. As I'm sure you are aware, ants bite, too.

Seems kind of crazy, it's not like full size cookies need expensive ingredients, they should have a high profit margin on that either way

What is enshittification?

The phenomenon of online platforms gradually degrading the quality of their services, often by promoting advertisements and sponsored content, in order to increase profits. (Cory Doctorow, 2022, extracted from Wikitionary) source

The lifecycle of Big Internet

We discuss how predatory big tech platforms live and die by luring people in and then decaying for profit.

Embrace, extend and extinguish

We also discuss how naturally open technologies like the Fediverse can be susceptible to corporate takeovers, rugpulls and subsequent enshittification.
