It's not enshitification as it was shit since the beginning : how this company was allowed to bypass workers protection laws (working time, minimum wage...), to burn investor's money with no limit and no real business plan (12 years burning cash without revenue) ?

Yeah people enjoyed their cheap ride, but now the cost is high.
