This isn’t really enshittification, though. People used to always have the right to self repair. That right got curtailed once it became a threat to profit margins.

Great article. I highly recommend Corey Doctorow’s book called ‘Enshittification’ for more on this phenomenon

This is a law issue.
If you read the book, the post will make much more sense
The book is a deep dive into intellectual property law?
more like a capitalism issue
private ownership caused the issue? so you dont see this happening if the government was in charge of everything?
enshittification would be a non issue without the profit motive.
