@codinghorror @Jumpmed @anildash @eff both terms are meaningless until someone looks it up and learns what it means. If they don't look up what it means, enshittification obviously means "making things shittier" and Saudification just looks like xenophobia

@raphaelmorgan @Jumpmed @anildash @eff I respectfully disagree; everyone reads the term as what it is: absolute rule of the wealthy. And "making things worse" is the default; we don't really need to remind people of that, do we? It's like saying "gravity exists". Yes. Yes it does.
