I think this is more about the increased push towards the growth hacking features, and the recent drama, though?
"Enshittification" definitely explains the product direction, but it doesn't mean that the website shouldn't work.
I'm just asking about the purely technical aspects the implementation of the enshittified product being so shoddy. Surely they'd get more engagement and ad revenue with a video player that works? Or a "use the app" button that properly linked to the app when people already have it installed?
