Sounds lazy and crass to me. Instead of a word meant to accurately convey a concept it's meant to broadly convey a concept and ones feelings on it in the same breath; much like the term "woke". I'd rather use something around a historical event that can also be used to help understand a concept through allegory, like "Dutch disease", or "cargo cult". Those are fun.
- TylerE 3y agoYou think "rent seeking" is crass and "enshitification" isn't? I know which one I would say in polite company.
- ajcp 3y agoYou misunderstood me. The subject of his statement, the "fun sounding word", that I don't think is fun sounding is "enshitification".
- malfist 3y ago"Fun" is subjective and we're free to disagree, neither of us is any more right than the other. I think it's crass nature gives it a sort of charm and really gets the point across.
