I'll be glad when this juvenile meme finally passes out of Hacker News' system.

It's basically 'race to the bottom' but that term is not very inspirational. It's not evoking any kind of reaction in the masses.

Neither is "enshittification." Only HN and some tech bloggers even use it as far as I know, and mostly just to be able to imply something is "turning into shit" while pretending to use a precise term of art. But it isn't, it's a poop joke.

I mean, how can I argue with krapp about shit? I’m out of my depth clearly.

I'll do my best to keep it going, unless you have a better term. Enshittification clearly communicates the point trying to be made.
