Enshittification is the pattern of decreasing quality observed in online services and products such as Amazon, Facebook, Google Search, Twitter, Bandcamp, Reddit, Uber, and Unity. The term was used by writer Cory Doctorow in November 2022
No, it’s enshittification. The “en” prefix has nothing to do with electrics. Cory just spoke about tech platforms because that’s what he always talks about.
Enshittification is for Electronic things. Shittification of general things can be shittification all on its own.
It’s en-shititfication because the en- prefix means (among other things) to “cause to be”
So as long as they are making it worse, they are enshitifying it.

Just because it’s observed in the tech industry doesn’t mean that it’s unique to it.
Thus my comment that we can have shittification all on its own.
