enshitification

If you're looking for a way to articulate why the Digital world feels so awful, Ed Zitron has a lot to say about the history of the world's descent into the Rot Economy and the increasing enshitification of all things Digital in Never Forgive Them. As with many of his pieces, it's a bit over the top, but I think it stands as a good reminder of how Big Tech is perfectly comfortable ruining the world to capture a few more cents of your money and as much of your time as is humanly possible.
