Well I guess it's shrink-flation but it arguably comes under the umbrella or enshitification.

How so?

"first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die. I call this enshittification" -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enshittification

This is just being mega pedantic for no reason, seems like everyone else is getting the gist of the thread just fine.

Christ I just saw that you're OP. I'm confused; why did you use the word "enshittification" if you didn't know what it meant?
