This is a space for asking dumb questions. It should be so dumb that the intelligent users of lemmy stare and blink before scrolling up. People may answer them if they choose to.

Warning : Intelligent questions would be summarily removed !!

Yes. Cory Doctorow coined the term "enshittification" in November 2022 to describe the predictable decline of two-sided online platforms—how they start by serving users, shift to favouring business customers (advertisers/merchants), then degrade the experience for everyone to extract short‑term profit.
