Welcome to Enshitification

A community for everyone who didn't realise it was spelled 'enshittification'.

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.

Zuckerberg himself looks AI-generated now.

Nah. Zuckerberg sprang into existence before AI.

Like all psychopaths, he tried to mimic genuine human interactions and couldn't quite nail the act because he fundamentally doesn't know what human feelings are. Hence the awkwardness and the "uncanny valley" vibe he gave off for years. But it was the true him.

Now it's different: it's like he asked an AI to mix his previous public image with 70% Hawaiian rent boy and 30% Compton bling, and he ran with whatever the AI spat out. Now he's still awkward on the inside, but he's super fake on the outside.

Come on, we know he loves it because he loves children, obviously. Better keep your children away or he'll make a man out of them using nothing but himself and a bed.

On the one hand, meta sucks and zuck can fuck a duck.

On the other hand, I couldnt give less of a shit what content his account likes, and I care even less than that (if it were possible) what the typical content is that the account generating a post he likes usually posts.

Like, Jesus Christ, just delete meta services. If he likes a post about a nonprofit that saves orphans from the crushing machine, we STILL shouldn't give a shit. This is not AI slop, but it's the no content drivel that keeps us doom scrolling. I choose no thanks.

It is just one small action by one very rich and powerful person. But it is further evidence that strengthens what we already know: Mark Zuckerberg is not bothered by the AI spam that has turned his flagship invention into a cesspool of human sadness and unreality.

There's just one letter missing. Add an "A" as the first letter and it all makes sense.

So we're posting AI slop that complains about AI slop?

Sorry I don't think I understand your comment. You're not saying 404 Media is AI generated content are you?
