The enshittification is carried over from other products. They’re meta, so anything they launch is partly along the path already, because they can artificially boost the launch numbers with cross-platform promotion, and because everyone already knows what assholes they are, they’re starting off with a lot of goodwill lost.
Basically, just slapping a new name and a new account creation process on some new features in their social network, is not enough to make it a new network.

I’m curious how Quest headsets will be enshitified.
Shhh. They forgot about us, let it stay that way a little longer!
I remember the heady days when I thought this was the final step of enshittification. Such simple and innocent times.
