Gonna be honest, I first heard “enshittification” when Reddit announced the API pricing, and now I hear it everywhere for everything, and I hate it.

It’s like when a child learns a new word and wont stop using it.

It was a thing before reddit. Twitter and TikTok started it

This is exactly it, now that the economy is slowing down, reddit is just one of many tech startups which whose investors now require actual returns instead of just promises of endless growth.

Showerthoughts

Create post

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct-----
