FWIW Cory Doctorow was famous before coining that word. He's done a lot of great work. You should research before saying things.
he basically was all of EFF europe when i found him mid-2000s. he also worked boingboing for a very long time.

And most people have zero.
I don't think you understand that most people (like you too) have zero buddy.
So hard to lift a finger to do the work yourself while you're shitposting. Follow your own handle's advice.
Let's skip for a moment the fact that, as other posters highlighted, Cory Doctorow was already famous before coining the word. Let's pretend that his only achievement was indeed the concept of enshittification.
Even then, it's a big fucking deal. He noticed a rather nasty pattern in a system used by 2/3 of the world population, described it, labelled it, identified potential causes and solutions. It wasn't just "lol lmao he jammed the word «shit» into another X-D".
CD is a beast. One hell of a great guy. I have actually donated money to some of his more worthy causes before.
Ft It's kind of a s*** hole though. And for the paywall to abruptly block you outright not a single word not a hook, which is kind of weird because it's a little bit against what he stands for I know it's not apples to apples...
I read the article. It's kind of disappointing, somewhat of a Nothing Burger.
