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.

Amazon Prime got ads, Crunchyroll got ads(But fortunately it's only for free users :X), Netflix has an ad tier. We escaped from TV land precisely because at the time it was better and had no ads, now they wanna just throw all those fun times away. Streaming imho is problematic anyway because of ownership. Sure you can enjoy that movie on a certain service's catalog now, but what about even 1 year into the future? I guess most people don't care about what happens to media, unless it's books. But imho, all media can have the same impact on us, whether movies, books, games or music or anything. If it made a impactful event on your life, and suddenly the providers say "Sorry, we don't have the rights for that anymore." wth is the point of having media in the first place?!
