Fine, they pulled off the enclosure of the century. Collecting all of digital culture, privatizing it, and mostly making us all worse off.
copying the commons doesn't enclose the commons
OK so my analogy isn't good either. It's enshittification of the entire Internet (and soon nearly all aspects of life) based off of the free labor and collective cultural output of humanity without any democratic oversight.

the best comparison is some kind of pollution, which is fun because they also do a bunch of gratuitous regular pollution. The problem, as usual, isn't the tech or that they used muh intellectual property as inputs, it's the private ownership and disenfranchisement of the worker.
