How did I miss the memo on this one? Or perhaps I heard it in passing and thought someone was making up a clever word.
But today I came across it when my friend Courtney Robertson shared this video from CloudFest 2025 in a Slack channel we both are in.
According to ChatGPT:
Enshittification is a term coined by author and digital rights activist Cory Doctorow to describe the progressive decline of digital platforms as they shift priorities from serving users to maximizing profits, often at the expense of user experience and trust.
Of course, ChatGPT took me a bit deeper, initially, and that has truly made me curious. So I will be exploring this further and watching the video Courtney shared.
Gotta say I love that word.
