It's a good time to learn a new word...

@augieray

Yep. I learned that word in 2016. For the same reasons…

@augieray I'm thinking "Corporatocracy", government by corporations. Combine them? KakiCorporatocracy.

@Wildflower01 @augieray "Kakistopoly" is what you're looking for.

"Monopoly" is just one entity serving a market.

"Duopoly" is two. etc.

"Kakistopoly is where a market is served only by "the worst" (since, along with "kakistocracy" it derives from the Greek "kakistos" meaning "the worst"). i.e. Phone companies, banks, utility companies.

eta: To be clear, "kakistopoly" is a word made up by me. Likewise, I think "enshittification" would have been better expressed as "kakistification".

@augieray
Yeap, heard this word a while back and thoughts, who would do this. And here we are!
