I am not claiming or implying that "woke" and "enshitification" are the same. It's just the same meme template.

The word is useful when it's appropriate. I'm not saying every use of the word is incorrect, but I've seen many times where people call any kind of change "enshitification"

I feel like almost literally every tech change I've seen in the past ten years is negative so maybe that's just the problem at hand? Or at least the ones people don't like, by the nature of public criticism. No one talks about bug fixes and useful updates, but they will talk about increasing costs and decreased privacy.

You will see someone calling an added and optional feature annoying sometimes but my personal experience is that it's rarely linked to enshittification, but we probably just have different experiences on the matter.

That's just simple negativity bias. All the negative things are easier to recall than positive things.

but they will talk about increasing costs and decreased privacy.

Yeah, that's actual enshitification and objectively bad.

I've had to block the [email protected] community because it's awful from all the whining about things that people don't like while not being enshitification. I unblocked it to find an example and this was the first post in the list: https://lemmy.zip/post/27425725
