@Extelec I understand 'enshittification' to have a specific meaning related to the way platforms and products are designed with more customer-friendly origins, then descend and decay once they have consumers in their grip, but yes, it feels the same in real life when the technical products are deployed badly and unnecessarily.

@CiaraNi But the same applies IRL too, Banks closing branches, Companies where there is no way to talk to a human. Microsoft/Google/Whoever using their monopoly to force you into using their software, Supermarkets forcing you to hand over personal information for price reductions, printers/cars/tosters/etc only working with online accounts.

"Enshitification" works for these processes too outside of pure programming as it's the same process.
