"Enshitification" means a service getting worse in order to charge their customers extra for a service similar to their previously good one. If we're using the word too much, it's because it's happening too much.

I'm fully aware of what the word means, but I'm sick of it being used so often. There are plenty of other words in the English language to describe the situation.

It's a specific word for a specific situation. If you're seeing it too often for your liking, I suggest the problem is that there's too much enshitification.

If there are other single words that mean the same thing, I'd like to hear them. It's a popular word because it's succinct.
