"We have fallen upon evil times. The world has waxed old and wicked. Politics are very corrupt. Children are no longer respectful to their elders. Each man wants to make himself conspicuous and write a book."
-- Naram Sim of the Akkadian Empire, 5,000 years ago.
This just goes to show that stupid doomsayers have been warning about the end of the world for 5,000 years.
Nothing ever actually gets worse, ever. This one quote about old people being unhappy with young people proves that.
Yes, that is a leftist take. The most important thing in leftism is to mock and belittle people complaining about problems because everything is how it always was and will always be the same way. :galaxy-brain:
Sarcasm aside, it's more likely that online dating, especially online dating sites owned by :porky-happy: , are being profitably made to be worse products over time so people remain engaged and continue paying for them compared to how they were during earlier implementation. That cycle will likely occur with whatever comes after it, with something being initially good but then being made worse over time for profitability reasons until something else replaces it, but that isn't the same as "nothing ever changes every everything is equally good or bad as always. Get schwifty." :very-intelligent:
That cycle will likely occur with whatever comes after it, with something being initially good but then being made worse over time for profitability reasons until something else replaces it
enshittification - (neologism, information technology) The practice of degrading services once a company or vendor has a monopoly on that service.

I hope enshittification becomes normalized in the public's vocabulary because it is very applicable.
Is it that inconceivable that certain aspects of life just have been either slowly, and/or cyclically getting worse for centuries?
