    What most people who commented before me seem to have missed is that this is talking about business-to-business customers.

    Don’t worry, your patronage is not worth enough to them to bother spinning up a LLM for.

        And my phone’s hardware amortization and electrical consumption costs 1% of my entire discretionary spending. Good luck squeezing that out of me in a marginal increase in profit for one company I could buy things from.

Welcome to Enshittification

A community for everyone who misspelt it as enshitification.

“I the onceler felt sad as I watched them all go, but business is business and business must grow, regardless of crummies in tummies you know.”

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.

For some more positive takes
!disenshittify@lemmy.cafe !deshittification@thebrainbin.org

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.
