I have trouble seeing that as irony in a world where "embrace, extend, extinguish" exists.

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguish https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguis.... We could also start calling it Embrace, Extend, and Enshittificate

    Extinguish is fine.

  Agreed. It would be ironic if it wasn't literally the exact same arc that every single company in this industry goes through. * Scrappy upstart catches the industry off guard * Wild success and growth * Becomes bloated, unable to innovate, and addicted to its cash cow * Begins turning the screws on its users to appease shareholders

    It's all just a natural part of the enshittification progression.
