We need a snappy word for everything in life becoming a shitty escalating cat and mouse game. I’m hearing the word enshittification a lot these days but unsure if it’s right here

    It's generally called an arms race. When SUVs came along and now everybody has a big car because everybody else has a big car that's an arms race.

    No "enshittification" is a specific process where you use VC money to make something great and attract a lot of users then you open it up to third parties to make money together with your platform, gradually making it shittier for end users, then once you have killed off competition and have third parties locked in you start turning the screws on them making everything shitty for everyone while you shovel money into your accounts.

    It isn't quite snappy or trendy but "vicious cycle" describes it well, but not completely.
