There’s an article going around but it’s mostly useless because it’s insufficiently naming specific examples.

YouTube = unskipable ads YouTube = ads longer than the content YouTube = ads during pause YouTube = constantly decreasing revenue share with creators despite more ads

    To be clear, I’m a Communist, I am aware of the background behind US Imperialism and the decline in purchasing power over time. Rather, those are some of the core critiques Marxist-Leninists have with Capitalism. I am more pointing to that clothing, now, has been forced to be made cheaper to keep up with the decline in wages. Enshittification isn’t a decision to make, but a consequence of Capitalism’s Tendency for the Rate of Profit to Fall. You could always get better quality garments for more money, but now clothing is getting worse to retain its core audience, Levi’s jeans are far lower quality than they were 40-50 years ago.
