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.

The complaint isn't, "banks allow connections from browsers that might be compromised!"

The complaint is, "banks claim they cannot allow apps to run in scenarios where they can't determine if anything is compromised but have been perfectly fine doing it and continuing to do it in the case of browsers, so their stated reason sounds like bullshit."

Those complaining about Google wanting to add attestation either didn't want that in the first place, or don't want the trade-offs required for such a thing to work. Like remote banking requiring using a corporate-approved platform and ad blocking not being as agile.
