I disagree. My parents, big Roku users, wondering why Roku was becoming hostile to its customers with policy updates that require a remote to agree to, ads coming through cables (HDMI patent), were able to understand the nature of the company at the moment through the explanation of enshittification.
Yeah. Not really ideal to giving a serious talk or something. Though there really isn’t a single other word describing the growth-phase-to-monetization-phase shift that I’m aware of.
“Growth phase to monetization phase shift” is kind of awkwardly long.
Its not just growth to monetization, its next stage of 20% profit growth year after year, in this case in the end, sooner or later, one way or another, companies end up having to do bad things. So most companies end up doing bad things and society has to live with largely bad companies.
I completely agree with his points but enshittification is such a cringey word

I wish there was a better way.
The welfare harms from monopolies are hardly a new discovery. The “growth phase” is called - in some contexts, at least - the “predation stage” followed by the “recoupment phase”.
They can downvote you all they want but they can’t make you wrong. It’a especially bad when people misuse it.
