Decay?

[–] meyotch@slrpnk.net 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Decay is a natural process however that just happens if you don’t stop it. I still think ‘enshittification’ fits it best because it implies a bit of intentionality on the part of the shittifiers.

The term is sticky (ewww) and I think we are stuck with it.

Yeah. 'Decay' has a natural whiff to it, while 'enshittification' reeks of it being actively made that way.
