Welcome to Enshittification
A community for everyone who misspelt it as enshitification.
"I the onceler felt sad as I watched them all go, but business is business and business must grow, regardless of crummies in tummies you know."
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.

MODERATORS
Stop blaming the victims of unfetterwd capitalism. The current state of affairs began with Reagan and Thatcher (and their billionaire backers) that sold the world the idea of trickle-down economics.
You say that from a Cloudflare node, @[email protected]. The “victim blame” card is obviously a silly failure here, as is your analogy. You may be forced to toil for shit wages under Reaganomics because if you don’t, you suffer more. But this is not true of CAPTCHAs. Stop pretending you must solve a CAPTCHA, when in fact you’re just too lazy to not play the victim and send your correspondence by snail mail instead of webmail. You choose to be a victim when you choose to interact with enshitified resources, so you’ll get no respect from me. I respect those who have the constitution to walk away from it, not feed the oppressor.
So we could sit around pointing fingers or we could be the change we want to see in the world
So you're saying that unhoused, impoverished unemployed people have the social capital to change the world?
C'mon buddy. Not everyone is capable of changing anything ... especially when poverty rates and unemployment are spiking.
Ass-u-me things like that based on your personal experience is naive at best.
This analogy you continue to use is broken. Give it up.
You might have to toil for shit wages, but you don’t have to solve every CAPTCHA puzzle that arrives on your screen.
Well hopefully doing nothing about it works out for ya
