Enshittification strikes again. In this case, fees and costs go down by virtue of being pushed out into the future as even higher costs as a result of lack of fees being paid now. Someone should make an encyclopedia or reference doc detailing all the different and specific ways Enshittification manifests. Bonus points if they tie it into Socialism/Communism because I'd bet there is a high degree of overlap between the two in terms of failure modes.

      I slightly grow tired of saying this, but also not. It’s not capitalism, it’s focusing resources on the wrong projects. Homeless people have drugs, but half the state is on fire.

This comment is particularly funny because the neologism "enshittification" was coined by an outspoken anti-capitalist AS a criticism of capitalism

    Yes, redirection is a thing. We’re all quite well aware of it.
