Not to be that guy but not liking a new website doesn’t mean that site has been enshittified. Enshitification is pretty specific:
1. A service offers a really good service to users. Often for free.
2. The service starts to court third party companies like advertisers and exposes their users to them.
3. The service focuses on squeezing both users and advertisers to court their often angry investors.
4. The service sucks for everyone and everyone hates it but it’s so big it lingers on.
Here’s the original article on the topic:
“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.”
