Dans cette phase, les entreprises merdifiées n'ont plus aucune raison de proposer un service de bonne qualité : elles ont un monopole des services et un monopsone pour les clients, avec un coût de sortie élevé.</span></blockquote><blockquote><span>4. Les entreprises finissent par disparaître dans la phase finale, quand les coûts de sortie des clients captifs cessent d'être prohibitifs, par exemple si une alternative émerge.</span></blockquote><span><br></span>​:wikipedia:​<span> </span><a href="https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merdification" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>Source</span></a><p></p>

T_X<p>Visiting the <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.online/@HSBXL" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>HSBXL</span></a></span> lately, after all these years, was a lot of fun. Loved the friendly, open culture and the mix of languages. There was one language moment I found particularly interesting: There was one conversation in French somewhere in the room, which I couldn't really listen in (my FR skill is still WiP) - but I heard <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/Merdification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Merdification</span></a> and my brain triggered: "Oh, they are talking about <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mamot.fr/@pluralistic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>pluralistic</span></a></span> 's <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/Enshittification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Enshittification</span></a>.". And yes, the FR <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/Wikipedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wikipedia</span></a> article has that translation, too :-)</p>
