I like it. It correctly and viscerally describes the feeling.

The other suggested phrase I see in this thread is “management decay,” but I don’t like it. Decay is a natural process. Here, the “en” at the front indicates an intentional, active process.

If you want something less crude, maybe we can count a phrase like “platform arson.” But I think people relate to the vulgarity.



Exactly. The word is intended to cause an emotional reaction to an intentional practice. If you pretty it up, it loses force: “waste elimination” and “fornication” are descriptive but not as evocative as the many alternatives. One should be angry about enshittification.
