Planned obselencense?

Repair-hostile design?

Warranties that are specifically timed to expire 3 months before the average part fails?

... Obviously this is all due to communist feminists.

One thing about cars made in the last 15 or so years that really bugs me: plastic valve covers.

As many times as an engine heat cycles, there's no way you're gonna keep one intact as soon as it has any kind of real age on it. Does it truly cost that much money to make an iron or aluminum valve cover?

How about fucking belt in oil systems?

Oh yes, lets 'save' some money by using some kind of rubbery plastic instead of a metal chain, but keep lubing up the belt... because it still needs lube, ... but the heat in the equation makes everything degrade much faster.

Yep. My '97 uses a dry belt and the change interval is something like 7 years or 100k. I've heard of Ford engines dying at 40k because the wet belt lost teeth, and it bent valves or punched holes in pistons or both.

If they're gonna use a wet belt, they could at least put it in a non-interference engine so it just runs like crap or shuts off when it skips time.

But how else would they sell you a new car every 4 years?

Half the fucking engine bay is made out of plastic parts that get brittle after just a few years and crumple at the first touch. And not just there, try disassembling a door card or interior trim without having broken bits fly all over the workshop. It's gotten so bad in the last 15 years.

Nice. Thanks.

Yeah I just grabbed the first half-decent one I saw on a reverse image search

obsessively looking at the world through a single lens is bad no matter the lens.

if anything I say offends you then block me and you'll have made both our lives better.

Using the correct word for a situation is not the same as calling the existence of black and gay people woke.

I am not claiming or implying that "woke" and "enshitification" are the same. It's just the same meme template.

The word is useful when it's appropriate. I'm not saying every use of the word is incorrect, but I've seen many times where people call any kind of change "enshitification"

I feel like almost literally every tech change I've seen in the past ten years is negative so maybe that's just the problem at hand? Or at least the ones people don't like, by the nature of public criticism. No one talks about bug fixes and useful updates, but they will talk about increasing costs and decreased privacy.

You will see someone calling an added and optional feature annoying sometimes but my personal experience is that it's rarely linked to enshittification, but we probably just have different experiences on the matter.

That's just simple negativity bias. All the negative things are easier to recall than positive things.

but they will talk about increasing costs and decreased privacy.

Yeah, that's actual enshitification and objectively bad.

I've had to block the !enshitification@lemmy.world community because it's awful from all the whining about things that people don't like while not being enshitification. I unblocked it to find an example and this was the first post in the list: https://lemmy.zip/post/27425725
