You missed YouTube
TBH move reddit to the front of Netflix and Chrome and Windows behind Minecraft then its good.
Netflix happened before Reddit. Also, one could add Facebook and Amazon
And google (the search engine)
Tantacrul made an HBomb-length video about Facebook recently. Def worth a watch.
This would be true if it wasn’t for the blood trails. All these companies are thriving despite the enshitification; perhaps they’re thriving because of it.
Winbloats was arguably the first one of this list to get enshitiffied. I remember being a 12 yo trying to find an alternative to winbugs because the microsoft account login was required. It’s got worse since then
Yeah its the original example of enshittification for sure
I’ve been here since Windows 3.0. I’m not sure when this mythical not-shit Windows was. There were a few I could live with, but none that were good.
And it was bad long before then.
if you can manage to get the IOT LTSC windows 11, it has a ton of that stuff removed by default. it makes it much faster and saves drive space.
The Win 10 IOT LTSC version does the same but better.
For those who don’t want 11 anyway.
But Windows is unique in that it can fit a whole lot of shit in it. Way more than one could imagine.
Minecraft, Chrome etc are a 7 litre compost caddy of shit. Windows is a vast open country waiting to be turned into landfill of human waste.
I’m going to pretend using an enshitified version of this meme template was an intentional choice
Windows has been shit waaaaaaaaay longer than any of those. MS always “fixes” it afterwards just enough to become usable
To be fair, Windows has huge, maybe even unreasonable, demands placed on it for backward compatibility due to corps not wanting to dump their 30 year old legacy software. And to Microsoft’s credit, they actually manage to do that pretty well while maintaining a reasonably stable OS. Most of the time, anyway.
The increasing interest in using Windows as a conduit for ads and data collection is what they really chafes me and is the primary reason I’m slowly moving away from Windows.
Exactly that. 7 was fine. I got used to 10 with tweaks. 11 will never touch any device I own. Fuck everything they’ve done to Windows in recent years.
And here I am with older games crashing all the time on newer windows.
Shocked this thread is an hour old with no mention of Linux. Whoopsie.
Linux isn’t enshittified, what do you mean?
I expected someone to be evangelizing for Linux as an alternative to enshittified Windows.
Well now you’ve done it, so well done 😇
The Linux is implied.

Windows was the enshittification of DOS.
Windows should be first, Reddit second, Minecraft third, chrome fourth.
Oh enshittification is coming for Windows. In the future. Like it hasn’t happened yet or wasn’t the first and worst of these companies for it to come for. But something that hasn’t happened yet, not in the past. Interesting.
Windows was good until Vista … then it seemed every second version was a pile of shit (7 good, 8 crap, 10 ok, 11 ugh).
I personally like 11 more than 10, mostly because its same as 10 but with better UI. 10 was very bland.
What? Windows has sucked for like 20 years. Google turned to shit when they got rid of “don’t be evil”
Windoze must die! Long live DOS!

Well, you know, that is an option…
I do, actually!
I love FreeDOS and occasionally use it, and not just for vidya.
