Unspoken enshittification is the kind of platform decay everyone notices but nobody at the company will publicly acknowledge — the feeds that get quieter, the customer support response times that double, the quality controls that quietly evaporate. There's no press release announcing it; the product just slowly becomes worse while the company continues posting about 'exciting updates.' The 'unspoken' modifier adds a layer of corporate gaslighting: the degradation is real, but officially it isn't happening.
The search results have been getting noticeably worse for two years, but it's all unspoken enshittification — they'll never admit it in a blog post.
