2023 Word of the Year is "enshittification"
- wkat4242 3y agoGood to see some more mainstream attention to this term. It gets a lot of criticism because it's kinda crude, but so is the behaviour it stands for. So I think it's perfect.
- weikju 3y agoIndeed. Everyone I introduce to this word has a small moment of hesitation followed by a visceral "THIS IS SO TRUE THE WORD IS PERFECT" reaction. People still feel powerless though, but at least, some awareness may lead do something eventually.
- maxglute 3y agoFeels like en- is just there to keep things respectable and printable. I drop the pretense and use shiffitification in person.

- dustypotato 3y agoFunny , if you know German "ent" is a prefix used to denote to remove something. Eh enthaaren, entfernen, entdecken. So entshittification is removing shit ?
- thebruce87m 3y agoRemoving the “good shit” from something?

- progfix 3y ago"en" =/= "ent"
- Cilvic 3y agoI'm a German speaker and even though I understand the difference, the word makes me struggle each time and I have to figure out whether en-shittification or de-shittification is meant.
- dustypotato 3y agoOk, I'm dumb. That actually makes me feel better
- Sjeiti 3y agoAh like Entwikkelung! But not like Enthousiasmus (derived from theo).
- idontwantthis 3y agoI have a new word: commode-ification. The point we’re at with some products where every single choice is shit so they are all interchangeable with each other.

- huijzer 3y agoI hope that the 2024 word of the year has a more can-do attitude. Awareness doesn’t automatically lead to problem solving. Problem solving does. Maybe the 2024 word can be something like nichization. In which more and more people and organisations solve a niche problem in a superb way. It would be a direct counter to enshittification because large organizations are usually not flexible enough to fix very specific problems.
- nunez 3y agoThis list is so cool. It's like an unexpected time capsule!
