The Best Things in Life are Free
Alanna Byrne
There’s no longer any illusion: as technology rapidly advances, everything around us, both on and offline, is getting shitter. From the quality of living standards to the quality of our food, the rapid degradation of the internet and the rise of AI slop, to the state of our public infrastructure, it all seems to be going to the dregs. And fast.
There’s even a word for it. The term ‘Enshittification’ was coined by author and journalist Cory Doctorow to describe the intentional deterioration of the internet, and is now used more broadly to describe wider society and politics.
Irish podcaster Blindboy Boatclub has a similar term – ‘Skimpflation’ – to describe nostalgic products getting more expensive for less and with lower quality materials or ingredients.
