Bitwarden hasn’t “enshittified” anything. It’s all entirely speculative

It has already enshitified. These changes are text book.

- Inclusion and Transparency values made more shitty

- Always free commitment removed. What? It’s right there “always”.

- Shittily hacking old blog post to become nonsensical

- Loss of confidence

- Stalling improvement cycle, no more repairs, just things quietly breaking and going bad.

I don’t wait for companies to enshittify anymore. When they start making decisions that look like they’re heading in that direction, I start looking for alternatives.

Looks pretty bad regardless of speculation. There are enough red flags to warrant actions and to consider this another enshitification.

yet. The hallmarks of enshittification are there. We've all been through the cycle of "this product is too good to be true, and provides considerably more value than it costs" "Customer Acquisition/Market Capture" phase. And we know what has to come next. They have to make the product profitable, because you cant just burn up VC money forever.
