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.

Wow, Microsoft games division just fired how many people? Definitely this is who we want in charge of jobs and productivity....

And they're gonna pay her how many millions to "right the ship" but that's apparently not a full-time job so she can moonlight for a government gig?

Just fire everyone, jack up prices, crank out uninspired slop for the masses and wonder why no one wants what you're selling, its a winning strategy!

I have to say, what you are saying sounds very intelligent!

Have you considered failing upward?

You forgot the part about firing all of the talent.

Edit: I rest my case:

Isn’t that the one who is so firmly detached from reality that they envisioned 1 billion users… on Xbox?

I just think about all the people with actual combat experience who have dedicated their lives to serving in the military having to salute these dickbags.

"Only the best people" 😂

These people get high on their own shit and think it smells great. They even think it is worth money cause they have this ego complex, and seek out other people that think they have special shit and they push each other's shit. You can become a member of the shitty shit eater club if your parents were shitty shit lovers.

Might as well shut down the goverment like they're going to shut down Xbox. Sharma is the reaper.

[–] discocactus@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

I mean that's always been the plan.

The head of a platform and major game franchise known for users getting baked and playing multiplayer shooters… productivity.
