Enshitification
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.

It’s wild they would do this since Jellyfin is so good. It won’t take much enshittification for me to drop Plex even though I have a lifetime pass.
It’s crazy too. The only reason I used Plex instead of Jellyfin is they had open subtitles integration on their ios app which as a deaf person is useful for me.
Anyways, a couple months ago I realised a way to set up jellyfin plug and play on both infuse and vlc video players on ios which have opensubtitles too, so now the only thing keeping me on Plex is habit. I’ve already switched for movies I just use Plex for my TV library. They’ve basically dug their grave at this point. Bye bye plex.
