Isn't it both? Enshittification is a form of monopoly abuse in my mind.
Also note that you're arguing against the person who coined the term "enshittification".
- philistine 2y agoEnshittification does not require a monopoly; merely captive consumers. You can enshittify cereal boxes, even though you don't have a monopoly.
- n4r9 2y agoTrue. I guess it's more accurate to say that enshittification is not mutually exclusive from monopolisation. But if anything becomes easier with a monopoly.
