‘I’m fed up with Enshittification. And I don’t mean “I’m fed up with hardware, software, and services constantly being constantly getting worse and worse by companies that put profits above all other considerations.” I’m fed up with the word itself.

“Enshittification” started off as Cory Doctorow’s fun, quotable term that neatly expressed our collective frustration with useful, valuable online services that decline in Goodness. Then it kind of exploded. It’s everywhere, and it gets applied to everything.

It’s become clumsy, blunt, and lazy. Worst of all, it’s cynical.

Yes, the concept of Enshittification has become Enshittificated.…’ (via Ihnatko)
