    I would be so proud to be the dude who first said “enshitification” right now.

    It’s probably my favorite new word I’ve ever heard in my life and seeing it widely used brings a smile to my face.

    I’ve got a cousin who is probably claiming he invented it at this very moment.

        Oh hey, it actually was my cousin. Cory is always claiming he coined every cool word or phrase so haha, funny he actually did for a change. He actually claimed he popularized “epic” and “uber” in the 2000s. I mean, I know people pay attention to him but in all honesty he’s always kind of tooted his own horn wherever possible.

        I’m sorry. I made all of that up. I guess my actual cousin and I aren’t that different, only he’d never say he made it up. He’d say it was a fact until he takes his last breath haha.

        Hope everything is going well for you bud.
