Everything is getting en-shittified, even YC itself.

This has been a trend for my cohort of college graduates. Graduated right in time for a housing crisis, inflation, layoffs, etc. Can't help but feel at least a little bitter about folks who pulled the ladder up behind them.

What generation are you? I'm an early millennial and even back then we were talking about this, how the boomers left us a dying world and a crumbling society. Then my generation failed to do anything about it, and everything only got worse. I am terrified for Gen Z and Alpha who have to come into this mess. I fear their kids, if they choose to have them, will be even worse off.
Late millenial. I agree with everything you said.
The people pulling those ladders never had to working about housing crisis, inflation, layoffs.
The word enshittified has been enshittified.
