Cory is proud of having coined a term that markets the concept of "platform decay". As an inveterate descriptivist, he's overtly against pushing back on the context-collapse of his term to mean "getting worse" rather than "platform decay". But if it *fully* decays into "getting worse", then there's nothing left to be proud of. I said this almost a year ago, and I still think it's important to, if not *police* the boundaries of definitions, at least *cultivate* them with some intentionality.
