Teeth pwease UwU

Nonbinary transfemme commie goth programmer (Yes I know I'm a stereotype)

I'm dark fighting type, so according to the pokemon type chart my elemental weaknesses are: Fighting, Flying, and Fairy


Idk if this makes me a toxic elitist commie, but every time I see the word "enshittification" I tend to ask myself "who benefits from there being a separate word for the profit motive and it's consequences specifically wreaking havoc on apps and websites"

and imo the answer is probably so that tech people have a way to talk about the decline of websites and apps bc of more and more hostile policies to users in the chase of profit in a way that is politically neutral and doesn't frame the profit motive as the culprit or bad in any way

I’m trying to decide how I feel about this.
I have complicated feelings about profit motive in general, and I do like using neutral terms that allow me to keep the scope of what I am trying to talk about narrow.

Consolidation and market power do seem pretty relevant to the enshittification process though.
