Is everything becoming "enshittified"?
Is everything becoming "enshittified"?
Not just websites and online services but games, stores, restaurants, etc are they? Have you noticed significant quality reduction with nearly matching price increases?

So I think the term "enshittification" has been latched onto and goatse'd by the community at large to the point people are now using it to mean "things getting worse because business."
I am pretty sure everything is getting worse because business.
That’s exactly what enshittification means. That’s the name we’ll call this stage of capitalism.
It's not really. Sure, the end result is "things getting worse because of business", but enshittification specifically refers to the practice of hoarding users with a quality product, to then extract maximum profit from them while shedding any semblance of quality.
The meanings of words changes over time
That's NOT what enshittification was coined as, and there's plenty of other words that already mean what you want. Stop diluting terms that we need.

It's an idiotic word and it's already been abused to where it's meaningless. I don't care anymore whatever argument someone is making the second I see this dumbass word. It's become the lazy go-to instead of people pointing to specifics for their arguments. Nah, just easier to generically say things are shitty now.
