The En prefix means “causes to be”. Things can become shitty but “en” changes it to a deliberate act. Thus shitification is process of becoming shitty but enshitification is the act of making things shitty.
So, it’s not as general a term as you are implying and definitely the usage in this article doesn’t make sense.

- saghm 3y agoWhy does "causes to be" necessarily imply intention? I don't think that's nearly as definitive as you're claiming. > It’s not as general a term as you are implying My point is that even if the term isn't "supposed" to be general it definitely sounds like that to a non-trivial number of people, which is why these sort of discussions crop up almost every time the term gets mentioned in comment threads on this site.
