Aha I see what you're saying. It's possible that dr CD considered the second part to be crucial, but it doesn't seem that people who listened to his message felt the same way, myself included. I probably speak for a lot of people when I say we hadn't realized just how much these platforms are "subsidized" and how much damage that does to the entire market. So that part ended up being associated in our minds with the term enshittification.
