What is enshittification?

The phenomenon of online platforms gradually degrading the quality of their services, often by promoting advertisements and sponsored content, in order to increase profits. (Cory Doctorow, 2022, extracted from Wikitionary) source

Not comparing feasibility though? Only the flour/bread analogy. Injected ads however it is done will always not be a part of the original video.
