enshitification continues

Q: Why do people add "en" in front? Isn't "shittification" just fine?

the original author coined it

en - shit - ify: [commence] + [ordure] + [make]

I guess because it's the start of a long and slow process, that holds the context of it not being as shit before. Whereas without the prefix it suggests a more sudden, decisive and completed act.
