Enshitification gold rush continues. It's like now there is a word for it, all these companies are exploring how they can do it.
For consumers, "enshitification" is a reminder of how things get worse. For companies, apparently it's a delightfully new lower bar to aspire to. This is some Darkest Timeline kinda BS
Guess we need to be careful what we give a name!
Join me in my new company shitify where we see just how low we can go
Let's start a patent troll company that exclusively deals in dark pattern bullshit. Then sue every company that implements any of our terrible patents for as much money as possible. Use the proceeds to ~~bribe~~ lobby congress to pass stronger consumer protection laws.
