Enshittification Of A Restroom Near You
Tuesday, October 15th, 2024 -- by Bacchus
Enshittification does not usually involve actual shit; nor does it here. But the scenario invoked by this meme (a public restroom that revokes the opacity of its stall walls as a unilateral “privacy policy” update) would be the very quintessence of enshittification:
I researched this viral image (with and without the meme caption) but was unable to locate an original source; it has been very widely distributed. However, Reddit is full of Internet Smartguys™ who will assure you that this is a real restroom outfitted with smart glass that can be made opaque by stall users. I don’t know if that is true. Internet Smartguys™ frequently volunteer as unpaid defense lawyers for all kinds of nonsense. It seems like a lot of extra expense for no obvious reason that I can discern. But conspicuous consumption happens, so.
