About

A homage to the official Enshittification site – not a copy. Where the official site tracks the movement, this one documents the cases: how platforms and systems degrade, and what it takes to pull them back. Field notes on the rot.

New vocabulary gets added to the dictionary as we run into it – every term we document lands in the Lexicon, so the language of decay stays precise. From surveillance capitalism to checkpoint capitalism – the fine art of charging rent at every choke point: the payment processor, the app store, the ad network, the API – each one a tollbooth on the way to your customer. We’re building a glossary for how modern platforms extract value, one tollbooth at a time.
