I see it referenced constantly here, not quite as much on Reddit. I know what it means, but just wondering why such the popularity over on this side of the fence?

    Those things are not enshittification, enshittification is the process where a service becomes worse as a means to extract more value from users and then shareholders, where user does not just mean the classic consumer but ad sellers, data buyers, etc.

    Not all annoying features are enshittification, but enshittification is not just misfeatures.

    You may know all this but I felt your comment was not clear enough about the distinction.
