@avantgame @Salon While he makes interesting points, the comparison between Kodak and Instagram is extremely disingenuous.

@schezar@avantgame@Salon It would've been easier to make the metaphor with repairmen vs call centers. -
@dammitfranky@avantgame@Salon But call centers didn't destroy repair-men: durable and/or disposable goods did. -
@dammitfranky@avantgame@Salon If it costs $90 to repair something, and $100 to get a new version of said thing, the choice is obvious... -
@schezar It's a trap actually. Repair became costly because of scarcity of repairmen and warranties are outsourced instead of in-store. -
@schezar It's the inconvenience of waiting that makes people take the decision of buying instead of fixing.
