By talking about the effect (enshittification) instead of the cause (capitalism). One could read your initial comment and conclude that the only problem is enshittification, and not even think about capitalism as the cause, since you didn’t mention it.
You weren’t asked for anything, and this certainly isn’t the equivalent of book titles and the tools to make them.
It’s more like interrupting a discussion about someone who was just shot dead by police to say, “yeah, it’s called being shot”, then getting all pissy when someone tells you that actually, the broader issue is police brutality in general.
My point is that you were mixing up cause and effect.

Do you commonly criticize comments that don’t issue a historical paper on the background of a meme?
Do you commonly interpret criticism as a request for a thorough academic study?
Only if it’s that kind of smartypants criticism.
If that seems “smartypants” to you, your intellectual standards are set pretty damn low.
Mixing up cause and effect isn’t some minor goof. It’s the difference between eating bread and eating fire.
