      Ekshuliiii… it should be Enshittificursion or Reshittification. Inception means something else.

      I’ll show myself out.

  Yeah, it has a very specific meaning, and people are now using it to mean “things becoming shitty”. Just because “shit” is the base word doesn’t mean that’s what the whole word means.

    Enshittification doesn’t mean “thing gets shittier”? Who knew?!

      From Wikipedia:

      Enshittification, also known as platform decay,[1] is a way to describe the pattern of decreasing quality of online platforms that act as two-sided markets.

      From the guy who coined the term itself:

      Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die.

        Being a pedant is never a good look. You’re missing the larger point. The same corporate impulse that drives platform decay ripples out to things like UX design. And that impulse is: the customer doesn’t matter anymore, we already got your money, only what we want matters.

        That’s just listing the wise and house of "things get shittier ".

  Yes, thank you! I thought I was the only one I feel like an old man yelling at the clouds every time I see it.

    Maybe listen to that feeling.

  Feels like it’s always been a buzzword for whatever someone doesn’t like right now

  Thank you. I think it was overused even the moment it was used for its intended purpose. It feels really im14andthisisedgy to me.

  • atetulo@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I’m actually really glad we’re hearing it.

    It’s a sign that people are finally starting to have higher standards.

  • Boozilla@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    And I think this is a dumb take, considering who coined the word and why. It’s a variation of “I hate anything trendy or popular”.

  Underuse IMO. We’ve grown complacent in so many regards.

  source
• atetulo@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  What do you mean ‘overuse’?

  It’s just now entering our vernacular.

• ModsAreCopsACAB@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  Are they wrong for using a word correctly? Or are you wrong for being a bitch about it? Hmmm.

  It’s Lemmy’s “play stupid games…” variant

  source
• Boozilla@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  Yup, and when I used it, I knew someone would bitch about that. It’s funny how people get hung up on their pet peeve more than they do the more serious underlying issues we’re talking about here. It’s the same phenomenon politicians and wealthy elites use to keep us fighting each other over trivial culture war bullshit instead of pulling together to improve our material interests.
