why did every normalfag receive the software update to begin using this gay phrase and why does it reek of psyops?

Doctor Ow made it up. It's a pretty interesting phrase. But I prefer enpoopylification (with a French accent).
>Canadian writer Cory Doctorow coined the neologism enshittification in November 2022,[1] though he was not the first to describe and label the concept.[2][3] Doctorow's term has been widely adopted. The American Dialect Society selected it as its 2023 Word of the Year, with Australia's Macquarie Dictionary following suit for 2024. Merriam-Webster and Dictionary.com also list enshittification as a word.[4][5]
>Cory Efram Doctorow was born in Toronto, Ontario, on 17 July 1971.[3] He is of Ashkenazi Jewish descent.[4] His paternal grandfather was born in what is now Poland and his paternal grandmother was from Leningrad, Russia (now St. Petersburg). Both fled Nazi Germany's advance eastward during World War II, and as a result Doctorow's father was born in a displaced persons camp near Baku, Azerbaijan.[5] His grandparents and father emigrated to Canada from the Soviet Union.[6] Doctorow's mother's family were Ukrainian-Russian Romanians.[6]

It feels like a reverse psyop by big tech to make people nostalgic for Web 2.0 shite like 2019 era fagstagram and fagbook so they can then roll out new updates to “bring back the old internet” trigger New York Times articles about how “social media is finally back”

Here’s why—it’s a low-bit psyop—spread via social update packs. Normies install without question—phrase signals compliance, not thought.


Is this helpful so far?

It's a way for normies to comment about how shitty things are without naming the jeet or the jew, instead accusing either the young or the old of a broad vague moral failure. Basically don't throw up a roman around people who say it

This. “Enshittification” is a concept created by Jews to deflect attention away from the de-whitening of technology

It also participates in the normie false consciousness logic of “if I keep complaining then it will get fixed.”

Bumping this thread where shills try to
1) convince rightoids that enshittification is a Jewish psy-op or, failing that,
2) convince normoids that enshittification is one step before antisemitism

zoomers are particularly easy to impress and psyop, they all follow half a dozen influencers or so
they're still too young to understand that most things go through a life cycle and eventually die. they think of youtube or twitter as institutions instead of products, because they were born with these things. they also more than likely spent a significant portion of their lives on these platforms.
nobody was concerned about the 'enshitification' of myspace or MSN messenger.

>Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die. I call this enshittification, and it is a seemingly inevitable consequence arising from the combination of the ease of changing how a platform allocates value, combined with the nature of a "two-sided market", where a platform sits between buyers and sellers, hold each hostage to the other, raking off an ever-larger share of the value that passes between them.

it's a bit more specific then the normie generalized "everything is becoming shit" take.

oh look, it's another asshurt contrarian thread where normie haters bitch about normies. today's topic: they dare to agree to one of our opinions about tech (that it is shitty and became unusable), and this is gay and homo and tranny and glowie jewish psyop because we mustn't have anything common with normies.
you should feed the flames, not extinguish them like big tech and gov and big eco and everyone else would gladly accept. make them big, absurd, uncontrollable, the source not belonging to any of the paid corrupt fags.

Some of us are so old that the idea of the word cromulent being a "Reddit thing" is a laughable anachronism. Also shame on you for trying to get insecure neets to avoid a perfectly cromulent term that calls out the scammer parasites.

You can't possibly advocate for the concept of enshittification now. It's pushed by an absolute literal jew. Your only options are admit that nothing is wrong, services don't get worse and enshittifcation isn't a thing. Or side with and agree with the jewest of jews on the quality of products today.

are you saying you live under communism or is this an analogy to certain websites being the only choice?
sorry if it's the former, as to the latter, i don't believe it's the case. we have a twitter spinoff for every ideology, there's discord, multiple chat apps, there are actually countless options but people stick to the big ones for a good reason, you're a loud minority.

I never said anything about Twitter. Enshittification applies to any two-sided market (a.k.a. platform). It's most obvious when there is a monopoly, like in the US for internet service or many household products. Social media is still affected by this, but it's a less dramatic example imo.

now for the same price you can't consistently have all of those together.

Same can be said for TVs, washing machines, computers etc.
