You’re just wrong. Enshittification is about corporations putting more and more increasingly invasive forms of monetization on things we use in our lives. Often it is driven by market monopolization.
That old content you want to view is often not available anymore OR is available behind additional paywalls (looking at you Nintendo and Sony). Its not about that old content becoming shitty necessarily but the overall state of the platforms we use being rather antagonistic towards their users to generate some more sweet profits.
You should go read how Cory Doctrow talks about it. He invented the word. I’m using his definition not whatever you’ve decided it means to you to frame your argument.
Any innovation that these companies deliver is a happy accident on the way to trying to squeeze you for more money. And when that fails they will just try to consolidate their monopoly further so next time you’ll have even less choice.
