I don’t think there is one. If they move fast towards worsening the product, people notice and bail early, but if they slow roll it really patiently, the bleeding of users seems to be much slower and less pronounced overall. It seems that there may even be some among us for which there is literally no floor at all, and they would tolerate anything, but ultimately leave at the end only because everyone else already did and there’s nobody left to talk to. Now that they have LLMs, maybe they can retain that last cohort with no standards at all; we’ll see!

In this light, it’s hard to gauge where the enshittification baseline is.
