A recent article by Ruby Thelot, published by Andreessen Horowitz, challenges the widely accepted concept of "enshittification" in technology platforms. Thelot argues that social media platforms are not actually deteriorating but are instead evolving to meet the needs of new, younger user bases. She suggests that dissatisfaction often stems from users aging out of a platform's relevance rather than the platform itself worsening. While acknowledging the popularity and profitability of platforms like Meta's Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, Thelot's argument is critiqued for relying on cherry-picked data from the American Customer Satisfaction Index to support claims of user satisfaction.
