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.

“Corporate bullshit is a specific style of communication that uses confusing, abstract buzzwords in a functionally misleading way,” said Littrell. “Unlike technical jargon, which can sometimes make office communication a little easier, corporate bullshit confuses rather than clarifies. It may sound impressive, but it is semantically empty.”

And also the toxically positive brand ambassador is on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

I don't embrace corporate bullshit. I utilize it synergistically.

I used to hear the word strategy used so much in corporate meetings for trivial things, that I cringe when I hear it now. Even if it’s used appropriately.

[–] Seimhe@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago

That’s a good strategy.

Well yeah, they decided to embrace corporate bullshit, that is already a terrible decision.

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 5 points 3 days ago

Sounds like correlation to me... People who pad their vacuous takes with corporate bullshit are probably not bringing all that much to begin with

This user clearly requires additional cross-functional upskilling

Will non-functional skilling do? I am going for pilates class.

But, are paid more to do so. Hunh. Go figure.

[–] MrMakabar@slrpnk.net -1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Does not sound like a worse decision to me...

You might wanna zoom out and look beyond your own mouth to feed. Take another peek from that perspective.

Jobs with a lot of corporate speak do not benefit society anyway. They are designed to protect the ownership class from being made responsible for treating workers like crap. Being crap at that job and taking more money from capitalists, sounds like a good deal for society.

Cold, hard facts. Gettem.✊🏼

We can run this idea up the flagpole to see who salutes it after we do a SWOT analysis and consult stakeholders , then we can circle back on these actionable items.

Why people talk like this: to appear like the smartest person in the room. Want to bring a VP or CEO to tears? Ask them naively to explain a few acronyms they are using.
