Welcome to Enshitification
A community for everyone who didn't realise it was spelled 'enshittification'.
This is your space to document the decay, demise, and destruction of the tech world as we know it. Share stories, articles, and firsthand experiences that capture the ongoing decline of once-celebrated platforms, services, and companies in the late stage capitalist landscape.
From monopolistic corporate shifts to anti-user updates and the relentless pursuit of profit over quality—if it’s broken, bloated, or just plain bad, it belongs here. We’re here to spotlight the moves that make the tech world worse, one piece of enshittification at a time.
Guidelines
🔹 Stay on Topic: Only post content about the decline of tech products, platforms, or companies.
🔹 Quality Content: Give some context when posting links or articles to drive quality discussions.
🔹 Respectful Discussion: Critique companies, crappy tech, and capital, not community members.
🔹 Positive Monday: The first Monday of every month is reserved for positive content only that shows enshittification isn't inevitable.
Join us to expose the changes that ruin the things we once loved and to discuss what comes next in a tech world gone wrong.
The idea that "rawdaogging" was a runner-up is hilarious. That slang is 20+ years old.
I always understood it in the context of having unprotected sex
Recently I've seen it used in the context of "rawdogging reality" which seems to have a definition of experiencing life without chemicals or distraction.
Honestly, for some people that might be riskier than the original meaning
Fair enough, I suppose that could be it.
Did Corey Doctorow actually coin the term or just popularize it? If he invented it, good for him.
pretty sure it was him, he certainly claims it
Wasn't this last year's word of the year?
