Welcome to Enshitification

A community for everyone who didn't realise it was spelled 'enshittification'.

This is your space to document the decay, demise, and destruction of the tech world as we know it. Share stories, articles, and firsthand experiences that capture the ongoing decline of once-celebrated platforms, services, and companies in the late stage capitalist landscape.

From monopolistic corporate shifts to anti-user updates and the relentless pursuit of profit over quality—if it’s broken, bloated, or just plain bad, it belongs here. We’re here to spotlight the moves that make the tech world worse, one piece of enshittification at a time.

Guidelines
🔹 Stay on Topic: Only post content about the decline of tech products, platforms, or companies.
🔹 Quality Content: Give some context when posting links or articles to drive quality discussions.
🔹 Respectful Discussion: Critique companies, crappy tech, and capital, not community members.
🔹 Positive Monday: The first Monday of every month is reserved for positive content only that shows enshittification isn't inevitable.

Join us to expose the changes that ruin the things we once loved and to discuss what comes next in a tech world gone wrong.

that camera is used as a webcam about 2% of its usage time

Even then. Its a $900 camera and theyve proven theres no real reason outside of greed it cant do better.

Its greed especially because they are charging you to use your own equipment locally, not using their servers or anything

i don't like 1080 for webcam stuff, no need to hoard bandwidth nor to show that much deatil of my face, i bought my camera for other uses, only got connected as webcam when i was doing job interviews

This is a bit silly and short sighted is it not? You own the device you should have the choice to use it at its full potential you dont have to but you have the right to.

lol, you can't force people to want things, i have been shooting slr cameras since te 80s, and thats the reason i on a dslr now, don't give a shit about webcam calls, done that twice in my life
