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.

In the email chain being circulated, Jeffrey Epstein is not shown “designing microtransactions” or issuing a direct instruction.

His role in the thread, as presented in the excerpts, is that he’s part of the conversation and a recipient/participant while other people talk through ideas about incentives, rewards, and using digital items as part of a broader behavior-shaping system.

The most direct “proposal-style” language in the excerpts comes from Bobby Kotick. In that message, he frames the topic as incentives and argues that the key isn’t just some abstract prize, but rewards that feel tangible or meaningful.

After Pablo Holman replies, the discussion becomes less about corporate incentives and more about ideological ideas.

The excerpt attributed to him is that he’s “all for indoctrinating kids into an economy.”

So not only there is a secret cabal of evildoers, there was also real life lex luthor. What's next? bill gates has multiple evil clones of himself that will start a war over his inheritance?
