The internet is going to shit and this is the shit list.
Enshittification (n.): the pattern by which platforms get worse on purpose. First they’re good to their users. Then they abuse their users to please their business customers. Next they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Finally: a giant pile of shit, one that doesn’t even have the decency to die. This is the public record.
