the problem i have with "enshittification", other than it's a word that sounds like a doctor who fan swearing

is that people talk about it being a property of companies, as if one day the ceo work up transformed into a capitalist

when "enshittification" is a property of the system. you go public. you're beholden to shareholder value, activist investors, and buyouts

not to be all "the purpose of a system is what it does" here but, y'know
