So while the Oxford Dictionary picks "demure" as word of the year...
The Aussies are having none of it.
The Macquarie Dictionary of Australian English has chosen: "enshittification"
The word refers to how digital platforms treat their users. According to article linked below, it is "the process by which digital platforms "die": "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."
This seems to fit some MMORPGs I know as well...
Personally, I could have come up with other definitions...but I do like what is now in the Macquarie...

So that's what they're calling that today. Back when I worked, I just called it, "Screwed Dude". :shocked:
