      That would be anything produced after 3.5. The brand has been going down for a long time. That’s not to say there is nothing good in the current 5e, just for me it seems like it lost its soul with corporate oversight.

      They’re going to abuse their business customers to claw back all the value for themselves?

        That word with a very specific meaning is popping up everywhere and used as “made worse” and it’s grating.

            Sure, but that doesn’t mean we can’t complain about the directions the fluid is flowing. In this case a specialized term for something that didn’t previously have a popular term describing it has been rapidly diluted to mean “bad change I don’t like.” So that thing doesn’t have a specialized term any more, which hampers discourse.

              The thing is, “enshitification” was never defined as “abusing their business customers to claw back all the value for themselves”. That’s merely one of the stages that Doctorow outlined as part of the enshitification process.

              Enshitification, as a whole, is the process of stripping value from a product or service from everyone except for shareholders.
