Welcome to Enshittification

A community for everyone who misspelt it as enshitification.

"I the onceler felt sad as I watched them all go, but business is business and business must grow, regardless of crummies in tummies you know."

This is your space to document the decay, demise, and destruction of the tech world as we know it. Share stories, articles, and firsthand experiences that capture the ongoing decline of once-celebrated platforms, services, and companies in the late stage capitalist landscape.

From monopolistic corporate shifts to anti-user updates and the relentless pursuit of profit over quality—if it’s broken, bloated, or just plain bad, it belongs here. We’re here to spotlight the moves that make the tech world worse, one piece of enshittification at a time.

For some more positive takes

Guidelines
🔹 Stay on Topic: Only post content about the decline of tech products, platforms, or companies.
🔹 Quality Content: Give some context when posting links or articles to drive quality discussions.
🔹 Respectful Discussion: Critique companies, crappy tech, and capital, not community members.
🔹 Positive Monday: The first Monday of every month is reserved for positive content only that shows enshittification isn't inevitable.

Join us to expose the changes that ruin the things we once loved and to discuss what comes next in a tech world gone wrong.

Open it to continue watching a show- 2 minutes of ads. Find the episode, start it- 2 minutes of ads. Forward to the part I left off at, 2 minutes of ads.

Fucking garbage.

I would have cancelled after the first ads. You're paying them and can't even browse the catalog without ads?

Can't trust anyone ever. TV used to be "Free" but you had to endure some ads. I found a VHS recording of Kqrate Kid a few years ago and it had really short ads. They started to cram more and more ads in. What if we play shows at 1.3 times the speed and cut some shit out? One more ad. I think at that point i'm just too autistic to watch ads. My sister always says that she doesn't mind, she just records everything and skips the ads. Now, with some blockbusters, apparently you can't do that anymore, so she's just back to ads. I don't think i have seen a TV ad in 15 years at my place. Now you pay for streaming AND watch ads. It's insanity to me. I just couldn't, i'd rather not watch something anymore tbh.

I’m not paying for shit. It’s free with our T-Mobile internet.

Do you pay for T-Mobile internet? If so, I hate to break it to you, but you're paying.

You pay for tmobile, and you're paying with your time when you watch their ads.
