enshittification is an established term

> Enshittification, also known as crapification and platform decay, is a pattern in which online products and services decline in quality. Initially, vendors create high-quality offerings to attract users, then they degrade those offerings to better serve business customers, and finally degrade their services to users and business customers to maximize profits for shareholders.






IMO that only applies to sites like Facebook or other "platforms" that have a lot of lock-in.

and before that the term "quality fade" was well established and could be used in all contexts... damn you Cory Doctorow!!!
