It turns out that offline is less annoying than online now. sure, you can't block the ads, but at least none of my daily transactions make me wish great harm upon the other person.
everything in the article is enabled by the customer not being able to punch the engineer, who coded the feature, in the face. or management, who demanded the feature to be as horrible as possible, A/B-tested to perfect the needle with which it will torment you.
being shielded and removed to this degree from the user, the customer, doesn't drive healthy products.

Well, the success of enshittification reflects a lot about general population. Just like how the meaningless TV content reflects people's taste. It's just evolution. Things boil down to what people really want or can tolerate.
