    This nails how platforms like Amazon, Facebook, TikTok, and now Reddit, shift from user-focused to hardcore profit-chasing. I can’t say that “Enshittification” is my favorite word, but the essay paints a convincing picture of the web overrun by monopolies. It’s a worthy read if you’ve been feeling used by these platforms lately.
