It’s a good term, but so often people use it to mean “got bad” when Cory’s definition was much more specific in regards to platforms abusing monopoly power on their users and businesses.

And I’m over the word “impactful” but people keep using that clunky ass word when they mean ‘significant’.

Honest question: What are the alternstives?

I agree that enshittification is a, well, shitty term, but I know obly it to describe the problem at hand.

Alternstives I think of are walled gardens, collapse of the internet as we know it, lockdown of social media sites, etc. - none of them all that simple and miss the point enshittification has.
