Does your phone seem less functional than it once was? It may be due to enshittification 你的手机是否感觉不如以前好用了？这可能是“垃圾化”导致的。
“Enshittification” is one of those rare new words that so perfectly sums up a prevailing but innominate concept that it feels like it has existed forever, like “shrinkflation” or “greenwash” before it. “垃圾化”是那种罕见的新词，它完美地概括了一个普遍存在但此前无以名状的概念，让人觉得它好像自古以来就存在，就像之前的“缩水式通胀”或“漂绿”一样。
We are all painfully familiar with websites or apps enshittifying – that is, getting worse over time – as their owners squeeze users for profit. This can be seen everywhere from Instagram ditching a chronological stream of friends’ photos for algorithm-cobbled influencer nonsense to Apple preventing easy repairs and forcing you to buy a new handset. 我们都痛苦地熟悉了网站或应用程序的“垃圾化”——即随着时间的推移变得越来越差——因为其所有者为了利润而压榨用户。这种现象随处可见，从某社交平台丢弃按时间顺序排列的好友照片流，转而用算法拼凑出的网红垃圾内容，到某科技公司阻碍简易维修，迫使用户购买新设备，皆是如此。FINISHED
