Please don’t think I’m here to complain about rizz or skibidi toilet etc. Thats all fine by me.
The term I dislike strongly is ‘eeeh’ before you make a statement disagreeing with someone. (This is over text only). Now maybe I’ve been pavloved bc it’s always used by someone disagreeing. But I’m happy with people disagreeing with me normally its just the ‘eeeh’ or ‘erm’ that annoys me.
So what’s a random term that annoys you?
PS. Saying “eeeh actually ‘eeh’ is a perfectly fine term” would be a ridiculously easy joke and I will judge you for making it. And I know atleast one person will. Especially bow that I’ve said all this.
Enshittification. Everyone just learned a new word and has to use it at least once in every comment section to feel smart.
Okay but if we use “Late stage capitalism and the quest for profit above all else is causing the quality of goods and commodities to drop while their value stays the same or goes up,” it’s going to result in 20 minutes trying to explain things correctly followed by 20 hours of anti-communist arguments.
That will at least explain why things are getting worse tho. The term enshittification is just nostalgic idealization with no real theory behind it.
Marxists have a hundred years of text dedicated to alienation from labor, the falling rate of profit, degeneration of art and creative disciplines under later capitalism due to the profit motive, cycles of class struggle, all based on a materialist analysis of changing production and class relationsi
But for some reason a trendy term like enshittification that vaguely means things are getting worse, without going into the basis about why they’re currently getting worse, has caught on.
I’m convinced it’s part of the tech grifter trend to take things that were already invented, slap a new name on it, repackage it, and sell it.
I suggest you read up a bit on how and by whom the term was coined and what it actually means. It’s by no means ‘vague’ and it is also a bit more than just repackaging and selling something already known. I suspect many people using the term aren’t even fully aware of what it describes and, crucially, what is being proposed to reduce the effects it describes.
It’s the enshittification of internet discussion
