Enshittification
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.
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.

Only for people stubbornly sticking with this trash OS.
You mean the very large majority of people?
Yes.
Incorrect. E-waste disasters affect everyone.
Also for all the vast majority of corporations
This is the problem - a lot of regular users will just keep using 10 (and will probably be pleased that it's not nagging them about security updates anymore). Corporations will dump entire offices' worth of working machines to maintain security or the functionality of whatever features they rely on, or to meet client or government requirements. And many of them will prioritize security, cost, and convenience over reducing harm, so they'll destroy hard drives or entire devices, and will dumpster tons of equipment overnight with no opportunity to salvage it. Privately owned computers are much more likely to get passed down and eventually end up in the hands of the family computer person or eBay reseller.
Fuck corporations. They themselves are disasters in their own right.
