How about the sole grocery store or Dollar General type store in a rural area? Same thing. As I said in a sibling comment down below, having your expectations violated isn't some form of personality flaw. Changes in behavior and pricing put real pressure on individuals to change their behavior, which can put stress on individuals who were already stressed. I'm merely describing what I feel is the emotional reaction behind this sentiment, not weighing in on whether it's good or bad.

It's not like by adding a moniker on this phenomenon ("enshittification") or by upvoting or downvoting arguments we agree with that we can change the phenomenon anyway; pricing and economics are a distributed exercise.




Great point, I hadn't thought about isolated areas.

And with you there, it's already starting to sound like a buzzword to me. The first step on the road to losing all meaning.
