      And they’re gonna pay her how many millions to “right the ship” but that’s apparently not a full-time job so she can moonlight for a government gig?

    Just fire everyone, jack up prices, crank out uninspired slop for the masses and wonder why no one wants what you’re selling, its a winning strategy!

    Isn’t that the one who is so firmly detached from reality that they envisioned 1 billion users… on Xbox?

      These people get high on their own shit and think it smells great. They even think it is worth money cause they have this ego complex, and seek out other people that think they have special shit and they push each other’s shit. You can become a member of the shitty shit eater club if your parents were shitty shit lovers.

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.

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.
