It’s authored by the guy who coined the term originally; so however he’s using it, that’s the way it’s used.

Is it about how everyone is using the term wrong and it doesn’t mean anything anymore?

Not necessarily… Death of the author and all that

Why do you think everyone is using the term is wrong? Plenty of words get overused until they become meaningless but I have mainly seen enshittification used to refer to large companies significantly degrading their product in a bid to increase profits which is what I understand it to mean. If it’s used a lot, it’s because it’s happening a lot (often by companies who built their products in the zero interest rate, infinite money era and now have to face the new reality).

I see it used as “things got worse” a lot but I did a quick search and looks like you’re right, on lemmy it’s used correctly most of the times.

It’s happening to governments too, but they call it austerity.
