2023 Word of the Year is "enshittification"

Good to see some more mainstream attention to this term.

It gets a lot of criticism because it's kinda crude, but so is the behaviour it stands for. So I think it's perfect.

I have a new word: commode-ification.

The point we’re at with some products where every single choice is shit so they are all interchangeable with each other.

I hope that the 2024 word of the year has a more can-do attitude. Awareness doesn’t automatically lead to problem solving. Problem solving does. Maybe the 2024 word can be something like nichization. In which more and more people and organisations solve a niche problem in a superb way. It would be a direct counter to enshittification because large organizations are usually not flexible enough to fix very specific problems.

This list is so cool. It's like an unexpected time capsule!

Funny , if you know German "ent" is a prefix used to denote to remove something. Eh enthaaren, entfernen, entdecken. So entshittification is removing shit ?
