Was at Tokyo Disneyland today and taught my girlfriend the word “enshittification”. (i.e. making your customers pay via your stupid app to do literally anything in your park, and not even providing wi-fi.)


That's not enshittification, squeezing money out of you is just how theme parks operate. The term can't really apply to Disney parks at all because there's no two sided market.


You missed the no WiFi part. At least enable customers to send their money!


That’s shitty, but if that’s all enshittification means then it’s ten extra letters for nothing. Disneyland is not a “platform”, it doesn’t go through the enshittification process.


Arguably everything driven by capitalism is geared towards enshitification. Maximum extraction for minimal effort is a hard paradigm to beat


I don’t remember paying for anything at Disney Sea with the app except for a few fast passes (and used to schedule the free fast passes of course). Suica card and credit card worked for everything else.


So you taught her wrong, that's not what it means...


That's double-dipping?
