We need a word for real-life enshittification caused by online culture. Like being unable to find an organisation’s info because they’ve Instagram but no website. Or panicked people being sent a videolink to download to their phone when they ring for an ambulance. Or being excluded from residents' association news if you're not on Facebook. Or having cash payment refused. Or staff in the business you’re physically standing in telling you to find the answer to your question on their website.

@CiaraNi wait, i have a good example for you.
There was a period of time when, due to a combination of bugs in Android and MS Teams, if Teams was just (pre-)installed on a smartphone and not logged in, it would prevent calls to 911 being placed.
I think this is a perfect example of digital dumpster fire (Teams) causing serious real life consequences. -
