I’ll have to watch the interview tomorrow, but it strikes me that “enshittification” is about as easily understood as any semi- nuanced terminology. Who can’t understand the meaning quickly, even if the details aren’t terribly well-defined?

Nope. You do it. Atleast suggest a boycott of the listed entities.
