Not just websites and online services but games, stores, restaurants, etc are they? Have you noticed significant quality reduction with nearly matching price increases?

    That’s exactly what enshittification means. That’s the name we’ll call this stage of capitalism.

      It’s not really. Sure, the end result is “things getting worse because of business”, but enshittification specifically refers to the practice of hoarding users with a quality product, to then extract maximum profit from them while shedding any semblance of quality.

      That’s NOT what enshittification was coined as, and there’s plenty of other words that already mean what you want. Stop diluting terms that we need.
