enshittificate isn't a word.
And yet we all know what it means.
So it is a word.
English isn't like French we don't have council of arbitrary definitions of what is and is not a word. If you know what it means it is therefore a word.
Stop trying to gatekeepe stuff, it's weird and boring
That's a very cromulent thing to say.
If any Spanish speaker is as confused as I was, just note that "cromulent" has perfecta validancia
Why say "enshittificate" when "enshittify" will do?
I thought it was a mistake/typo. Those don't instantly become words just because a reader can guess the meaning
