yea, for those not paying attention ... the "enshitification" has been a slow development for a while now. There was a moment back circa 2010, before google stopped being "not evil" and when the iphone/smartphone was still new and web pages were capable of doing anything and problems could be solved with apps etc etc ... that tech just seemed "good" and to be doing "good", and there were reasons to think so. But good things have been falling away slowly for years and big things turning shit too.
Has enshitification already reached “gaslighting” status where people just use it when it’s not appropriate?
Merely inappropriate usage of a word isn’t gaslighting. Ironic really.
There’s a reason I put it in quotation marks, it was an example not a part of the sentence
