Enshittification
Welcome to Enshittification
A community for everyone who misspelt it as enshitification.
"I the onceler felt sad as I watched them all go, but business is business and business must grow, regardless of crummies in tummies you know."
This is your space to document the decay, demise, and destruction of the tech world as we know it. Share stories, articles, and firsthand experiences that capture the ongoing decline of once-celebrated platforms, services, and companies in the late stage capitalist landscape.
From monopolistic corporate shifts to anti-user updates and the relentless pursuit of profit over quality—if it’s broken, bloated, or just plain bad, it belongs here. We’re here to spotlight the moves that make the tech world worse, one piece of enshittification at a time.
Guidelines
🔹 Stay on Topic: Only post content about the decline of tech products, platforms, or companies.
🔹 Quality Content: Give some context when posting links or articles to drive quality discussions.
🔹 Respectful Discussion: Critique companies, crappy tech, and capital, not community members.
🔹 Positive Monday: The first Monday of every month is reserved for positive content only that shows enshittification isn't inevitable.
Join us to expose the changes that ruin the things we once loved and to discuss what comes next in a tech world gone wrong.

Yep, it's a shame. And it's probably 20 years too late to change now.
A simple standardised interface onnroutersz like a home network html page that just links you through to the device. It's not a new concept. Old printers used to have it so you could print across the network.
Unfortunately, as it's only tech literate people accessing and changing their router settings, they remain obtuse and complex. If info to any persons house that's boomerz their wifi is ispname123 and the password is a sticker that they keep on a drawer.
My current router has a simple and advanced interface which I think is a step in the right direction.
Basic computing needs to be an elementary school class.
Kids will get binary logic. Tweens can understand registers and instructions. The idea of a parser or an interface would go a long way for teens.
One can only dream.
