inspired by @pluralistic 's construction with enshittification, I think we need a new word to describe the ideological evolutions of Twitter/Facebook/TikTok due to their pandering CEOs and rightward shifts. entrumpification?

I expect when/if TikTok comes back up in the US, it will (be required to) insert endless videos by Trump into everyone's "For You" feed—regardless of whether the user wants that or not (just as X does with Elon's).
