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.

As I'm sure most of my multi-lingual peers feel, I hate youtube's recent addition of automatic AI dubbing on certain videos. It's enabled for some videos that are in a language different from your youtube account's setting.

This also goes for the automatic title translation. Show me everything in its original language, PLEASE!

I understand more than one language, you don't need to translate everything to the single language setting I have. The auto-dubbing should be set to OFF BY DEFAULT. At least give me the option to opt out of it. There's nothing more annoying than having to wait for a video to load, only to have to restart it back in its original language as soon as I realize the dubbing is active.
