True, and I suppose that's when enshittification starts happening unless the owner is really committed to maintaining its previous price/quality ratio.


I imagine those products tend to expand in their market share, unless they're catering to an unusual preference.

What if enshittification doesn't happen just because of greed?

I do often find that there are "hidden gems" of products that have a great quality-to-price ratio, that many savvy consumers swear by, but aren't that well known to the public.  Good restaurants are like that, as are good podcasts/educational materials for personal finance as we recently discussed.  I'm sure there are more examples too, like for clothing brands, but I don't know as much about that.
