Fair enough but what word do you use instead of enshittification? It filled a gap in the language.

[-] xor@infosec.pub 1 points 5 months ago

depends on the context:
"exploitation"
"make it shitty"
"ruined"
"fucked it up"
if it was used way less, in non-pseudo-intellectual contexts, i wouldn't care...
there is a term for companies buying companies and lowering the quality of the product while capitalizing on the brand reputation... i forget it though...

i mean, i barely care but people keep commenting on this so i feel like replying.

parentification is another one like that. just verbifying the noun and sticking "ification" on the end to have more syllables.

you could just write out, "children being forced into parenting roles" or something...
In large families, the eldest child has traditionally taken on more parent-like responsibilities... it's not new and if it really needs it's own word, it deserves a more thought out word structure than just:
"+ification and now let's try to spread the word and get people to take me seriously!"

Before I reply I just wanna say I'm not trying to fight or argue I'm just quite interested in language.

All your context-dependent examples are verbs, whereas "enshitification" is a noun - a state of being. That's why it fills a gap in English.

Otherwise you need an entire sentence to describe that process A happened to B thing and the result is C state.

It doesn't seem intellectual at all to me, I mean it has the word shit in it and its closest contender for meaning is probably "fuckedupness".
