As mentioned, enshittifying doesn't mean "make shitty" or "make worse". It's a specific exploitative company MO, like taking a product like Bitwarden and the goodwill it's generated with open source contributions, free plans, etc., and exploiting that trust by selling it to private equity, unbeknownst to the users, in order to squeeze the most out of it they can and then scrap it.
replyI'm pretty sure enshittification applies to other methods. Adding ads to smart devices after purchase is a very common example.
replyI agree with you that "enshittification" has a more specific meaning than just "make worse". Yet, the enshittification of Windows doesn't really follow the mold you described, even though I'd also call it enshittification.
replyI really don’t think a UI redesign is the intended meaning of enshittification. BW has had by far the best free option for password management since I started using them 8 years ago.
replyDo I like the UI changes? Eh it’s not my favorite but I don’t use it that often to care.
