A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

aka the great enshittification of '23
Thats how we gonna call this era arent we?
Gonna be honest, I first heard "enshittification" when Reddit announced the API pricing, and now I hear it everywhere for everything, and I hate it.
It's like when a child learns a new word and wont stop using it.
It was a thing before reddit. Twitter and TikTok started it
This is exactly it, now that the economy is slowing down, reddit is just one of many tech startups which whose investors now require actual returns instead of just promises of endless growth.
