"The backlash to the corporate “sharing economy” is gaining momentum, and one
key player is the movement to develop “platform cooperativism.”"

Via Muse, who wrote:

And after corporate start-ups have abused the hell out of the word "share",
we have to create a new term to divest ourselves of their
exploitation...gah!

Unfortunately that's usually what happens to any hot new word or concept. 
"Platform cooperativism" doesn't roll off the tongue as well as "sharing
economy", but I'm all for it whatever the name.

Share and enjoy,
