Your thesis describes ‘enshitification’, which is rampant, alas. Theodore Sturgeon, author, is credited with saying, “90% of Everything is Crap.”, a.k.a. Sturgeon’s Law. I did just use the phenomenon of The Superb Owl to get a great price on a new shirt, with a pair of socks and a thing (what are those lipstick containers called? ) of lip balm thrown in for free.
