- bytefactory 3y agoI'm unreasonably excited about possibly witnessing a new popular term coming into being!
- BLKNSLVR 3y agoI did, yes, but incredibly derived from enshittification (for which I believe we can thank Cory Doctorow). Having said that, I did look up 'gild' to make sure I was using a semi-obscure word at the opposite end of the scale that begins with 'shit'. Coming up with new words is surprisingly easy when there's an existing word requiring of a foil. Don't give me too much credit for this, I need to maintain my current level of almost total obscurity in order keep pumping out the quality ;)
