rot economy

Coined by Ed Zitron:

The rot economy is a growth-at-all-costs economy. The only thing that matters is growth of revenue, which comes from showing a never ending vomit stream of ads, rewarding managerial malpractice, and pleasing shareholders. Also see: enshittification

Ever wonder why Google results are getting worse, or why you aren't seeing your friends on Instagram? It's all because of the growth-at-all-costs economy that's swallowed the tech industry, where the user experience takes a back seat to monetizing every interaction with the platforms you used to love. - episode synopsis for “The Rot Economy,” from the Better Offline podcast

TikTok Brain Rot

A semi-humorous condition characterized by a severe and persistent decrease in attention span, believed to be caused by excessive consumption of TikTok videos. Individuals with this affliction often find it challenging to focus on tasks for extended periods and have a heightened tendency to get distracted by short, catchy content.

A cultural phenomenon where one's perception of reality, trends, and societal norms becomes disproportionately influenced by TikTok content, often leading to skewed worldviews or overemphasis on fleeting internet trends.

Example: "Ever since Jenny started watching TikTok six hours a day, she can't even finish a 10-minute YouTube video. She's got a serious case of TikTok Brain Rot!"

Example: "Brad's been trying to replicate every viral dance from the app; it's like he's got TikTok Brain Rot or something."
