You’ve heard of enshittification but have you considered en-it-was-always-shit-to-begin-with-ification?

@aral find enshittification so unhelpful as an explanation of our current digital predicament. It just doesn't explain anything meaningful about capitalism.

@aral if I get it right as I scroll through your posts what we need is not your alternative but that all of us should be engaged in "deshittification"

@aral If it was as shitty as it ended up being from the get-go, it would have never attracted a user base large enough to warrant all the extractive tricks that eventually made it so shitty. The transitive nature of "enshittify" connotes the essential bait-and-switch nature of building something that people like then fucking it up as you attempt to extract every last cent of value out of that ecosystem.
