The coming enshittification of America.

[justaprogressive]

5. THAT would be Cory Doctorow who coined the term.

Writer Cory Doctorow coined the neologism "enshittification" in November 2022,[1] though he was not the first to describe and label the concept.[2][3] The American Dialect Society selected it as its 2023 Word of the Year[4] while the Australian Macquarie Dictionary selected it as its word of the year for 2024.

Doctorow advocates for two ways to reduce enshittification: upholding the end-to-end principle, which asserts that platforms should transmit data in response to user requests rather than algorithm-driven decisions; and guaranteeing the right of exit—that is, enabling a user to leave a platform without data loss, which requires interoperability. These moves aim to uphold the standards and trustworthiness of online platforms, emphasize user satisfaction, and encourage market competition.
