TFW your book has been on sale for 65 HOURS and your editor tells you that it's just gone into its FOURTH printing.

Dude, I was just talking about you to one of my colleagues yesterday who didn't know who you were but knew what #enshittification was. Your meme has metastasized into mainstream consciousness.
PS I didn't know you had a new book, so I (back)ordered it. Congratulations
"We can halt the creeping enshittification of every digital device. We can build a better, enshittification-resistant digital nervous system, one fit to coordinate the mass movements we will need to fight fascism, end genocide and save our planet and our species." - @pluralistic

In 1999, I made my first purchase on Amazon. The last in 2011. What @pluralistic describes here wasn't even on the list of reasons to leave back then.
This is a good explanation and example of his own term, #enshittification. If you're still buying on Amazon, this might interest you. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/oct/05/way-past-its-prime-how-did-amazon-get-so-rubbish

Got the e-book recently, and I'm itching to start reading. A huge thank to @pluralistic

Online shopping is such a hot mess. Take Amazon: the price of a product I'm looking for varies by more than *25%* betw. Amazon.nl & Amazon.fr (and every shades of grey in other countries). Same product exactly, same brand and reference. It makes every purchase a time-consuming, anxiety-provoking, uncertain experience. That's yet another layer of #enshittification that's utterly upsetting and insufficiently discussed. And yet, Amazon brags that “1 account - all of Europe.”
Paging @pluralistic !

The year is 2025. Social is entirely occupied by Enshittified Corporate Goons. Well, not entirely. One small decentralized platform of indomitable nerds still holds out against the invaders....

I can see it now. Spelling Bee Finals, 2030:
Judge: Your next word is “enshittogenic”
Contestant: (sweating) “Can you use it in a sentence?”
Judge: “Sure. Tech bros are enshittogenic.”
Contestant: (relaxes) “Enshittogenic. E .. N .. S …”
Cory Doctorow's ( @pluralistic ) #Enshittification is solid - he puts a lot of what I've been saying for the last 20 years into solid, concise and well organized case studies.
