I hope the word becomes more pervasive. I would like to see people start calling tech CEOs "Chief Enshittification Officers". The more the word enters the lexicon, the more the enshittifiers will begin to feel at least some resistance -- similar to the way "second-hand smoke" helped to trigger the decline in cigarette use in the west.

The era of free money may be over, but that doesn't mean we're required to present our gaping maws willingly as receptacles for the enshittifiers' effluent.



No totally. But it was fun while it lasted and if you don't want to help them make some money that's fair enough. No point being too disappointed though. C'est la vie
