Enshittification does have a historic term: rent-seeking behavior. It’s all about taking more money without creating wealth. Even Adam Smith vehemently opposed this and called it anti free-market, since he wanted the market to also be free from lords.
Now, so much of the US economy is built around rent-seeking and now we’re all scratching our heads why China is kicking our asses, and our governments are so corrupt.
Spending a few minutes with an “apolitical” or even non-leftist person kinda shows you how utterly fucked we are lmao these people live to uncritically consume their slop at whatever rate they’re charged. Just a prime example of people who don’t know what is in their best interest
There’s also a decently large group who make us look like bloomers, who think that humanity is irredeemable and deserve to die due to climate change etc.
And not just landlords, corporations are playing along now too with their cute little subscription models 🤗
Enshitification babeeeeeeee
