    Irreversible?

    I have a hypothesis: a building that’s been burned to the ground will consume much less resources than when it was still standing and operational.

        Remember to use a large sample size, and multiple experiments to test for reproducibility

    Here in China, residential electricity prices are subsidized by industry. If industry needs more electricity, they pay the cost for the increased prices. Residential is like 10 cents/KWH here.

    It’s like the phone companies all over again. They got rich off the infrastructure we paid for with our taxes. Fuck them all.

    So the thing about money and economics is its like abstractions for deciding what stuff gets done and who has a say and what resources go where and now that everything is being put behind this money is being disregarded because there literally isn’t enough of it to justify this distribution while keeping the rich rich that means you’re being robbed to fuel the PISS fountain so money is used to limit you but not what can be taken from you

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
[email protected] [email protected]

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.
