Maybe you too can learn something new..... Or am I the only person that is just now hearing about this word:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enshittification

I've heard the term because I've heard a few lengthy interviews with the guy who coined the term. Naturally, there was a bit of bleeping as it was broadcast radio.

No.... Just overall

Yes it's actually Greek.
Tifo is degrade something slowly "en" (Greek "ena") is put everything in one shi =shin(Greek syn mean plus) and cation Greek means chemistry although not 100% on that as proto English after 13AC tend to use ation as an ending or Greek kation "going down.

"Shi" could have been eliminated IMO because along with en it's plethorism as they end up having the same meaning. So Entification would be more appropriate. Or if it's kation, then everything in one and going down degrading. So it's a blend cannot be read properly as a whole in Greek but if one could pronounce it it would be something like above "Entification" or if you 3want shi Sinentification. Bleh doesn't sound good but everything is possible in English.

Edit: Actually pleonasm is more appropriate than plethorism

That was new to me also but the concept sure makes sense and the examples bear it out.

I heard it about a month ago in a you tube vid but I'd forgotten again until you posted the link.

first time I heard that word was used on the google search engine.

I stopped using it long ago, it's all political agendas, commercials and SEO poisoning.

same thing happened to playstation, and XBox.

I'm going to forget the word after 10 minutes.
