Enshitification only comes for the things capitalism touches... So yeah, everything...

Enshitification comes because of the unsustainable growth required by Capitalism in order to appease shareholders. Line must always go up!

Enshittification comes from failure of government to establish a market where capitalism acts for the benefit of society. It comes from failure of antitrust regulations, failure of consumer protections, failure of broadcaster fairness doctrine, failure to reward a sustainable business model rather than simply maximizing quarterly profit, failure to support public broadcasting, failure to mandate ethics/honesty/transparency, failure to incent public good such environmental responsibility.
