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.

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.

Honestly this is good news for me, please Zuck enshittify WhatsApp as much as you can. This is the only app I can't leave from them because literally my whole country refuses to use anything else than Whatsapp for messaging.

Start using an alternative alongside WhatsApp as much as possible.

That is the problem, as much as possible is still 0. I already have all the alternatives installed in my phone but I can't use them if there is no one to talk to over there.

No one wants to do the effort to change even if this effort is to spend 5 minutes installing a free app. Why should I change? Then they look at me as Mr. TinfoilHat if I tell them the reasons. My only hope is Whatsapp turning to shit itself.

"Meta launches new radiation burn app, which kills the user in minutes. Privacy experts are sounding the alarm."

I dropped WhatsApp as soon as Facebook bought them. Sure it's encrypted but it's owned by some of the same people I want to be protected from by using said encryption.

But, hey, there is no way they would just lie and take your data, right ?
