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]
