    I’m not sure this is true, most of recent big tech changes seem to have been driven through a “invest a lot at loss, then monetize” model. So I don’t think this relies on demand anymore.

      Where do you think the money for the monetize step comes from if it’s not demand?

        Funding, right?

        Don’t companies like Twitter, Uber, OpenAI, Bumble etc. fully rely on them for growth and try to actually be profitable once they have reached all the audience they can have?

        As a user this is especially infuriating because many of these service have an expiration date, for example there will be a new dating app every so often, which will start its enshitification process after about 2 years.
