This piece perfectly conveys the idea I have been unable to when comparing Europe to the US from a quality of life and economic success perspective. Kudos to the author.
If you watch football (soccer) and you followed the World Cup, you'd have seen the criticism by football fans of the "americanization" of the tournament.

The "Hydration breaks" that were a guise for serving ads, the insane ticket prices, and the halftime show.

People just wanted to watch football.

I'm surprised company reputation, as a metric, doesn't come up more often in discussions of enshittification. This post is spot on, but the author only focuses on the negative externalities that profit-maximization imposes on the public. Every act of enshittification also impacts an organization's reputation. What if we were to make up some measurement for reputation and convince organizations to optimize for some combination of their reputation and profits?
