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.

It freaking does. I want to use good apps, but I can't use good apps. In fact, the only people I am able to convince are my fiancee and my one friend, both female, both tech illiterates (boy let me tell you).
It's kind of funny. They're buying the fact that big tech is "spying"/collecting data on us more than my more tech-savvy (male) friends. Or at least, it matters more to my less techy peers, it seems. Maybe my male friends have too much pride, and/or are too lazy to switch? Idfk.
Always talking about "I don't want another app". Bitch all we do is just press notifications anyway. Who cares which app it takes us to if you don't care about privacy. I'm the one who cares, humor me! 🥲
