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.

I got someone calling me midnight, trying to convince me she's my daughter, and she needed me to send her money. I regret not making some name on the spot to waste the scammer's time, but at the time I was genuinely worried some clueless girl was actually trying to call her dad. (I don't have children, mind you.)
Wow, never heard those calls. That's nutts!
I believe they're common here in Brazil. As well as fake kidnapping ones.
...I wish those scammers worked as voice actors when dubbing anime. Seriously they put way more emotion on the calls than most dubbing groups here.
They’re happening here too, just read an article about some grandparents that got scammed out of $2000 CAD! I’m near Nanaimo BC.
