So, in a perfect world, everything should get better over time, right? More tech, smarter scientists, cooler gadgets! But nope, somehow some things just go downhill fast. There’s even a fancy (okay, kinda funny) name for it: enshittification. It’s when your favorite apps or services start great, then slowly turn into annoying ads-fests and complicated messes. Remember when Instagram just showed stuff your friends posted? Now it’s mostly ads and reels you didn’t ask for. Oh, the horror!
Here’s the magic trick companies pull: first, they’re super nice to us users. Then, they turn that love to milk money from advertisers. Finally, they basically steal from everyone and ruin the whole thing. Classic! It happens everywhere, from streaming apps to ride-sharing. And it all starts with a deal that’s wayyyy too good, trapping us in their crazy worlds where you can’t escape or find a cheaper option. Sneaky, sneaky.
Why does this happen? Greed! Big money folks expect insanely high returns and don’t care if the customers get the short end of the stick. It’s like your famous internet heroes got group-texted by the ‘money first’ club. Sad but true.
So yeah, the internet and your fave services have become a bit like that one friend who used to be cool but now just won't stop bragging about their new yacht.
Not everyone’s cool with that though. Norway’s already waving a big red flag about how digital stuff is going south. They’re basically saying, "Hey, you wouldn’t let shops do this kind of stuff in real life, so why online?" And they want laws to make products and services actually user-friendly again. Sounds like a plan right?
They’re asking the big shots to give power back to us regular folks - like letting you fix stuff yourself, switch services without a headache, and actually choose what you want without being tricked. Because guess what? It’s not too late to fix this mess!
These ‘Collect ’Em All’ Balls Are Basically Gambling For Kids
Yeah, the old ‘collect ’em all' trick has been around forever, but these balls taking over the toy aisle? Way too much. And don’t get me started on the price.
If you’re in the business world and selling products, here's a secret: focus on making things genuinely good. Not just flashy or popular, but stuff people actually like and want to use without feeling like a sucker. And be honest! People love when you tell them the truth, even the messy parts.
Seriously, being upfront about the ups and downs of your products is like magic these days - brands don’t do it, so when one does, it’s like finding a unicorn in the wild. Trust wins customers for life. Who knew?
Cottonelle, What On Earth Are You Doing?

When Did Hotels Get So Meh?
