The Subtraction Economy
How they take more, give you less, and train you not to notice. Pour two fingers of the vodka you trusted ten years ago and you taste grain, cold, and a clean burn that meant something had been distilled with care. Pour the same brand today and you get water and a faint chemical ghost of that promise. The bottle looks identical and the price has climbed, while the liquid inside has been quietly reformulated down toward rotgut. A label held constant over a swapped recipe is the entire con, and the house is betting you will never run a blind taste test against a memory, because memory fades while the bottle on the shelf looks just like the one you loved.

Here’s an example of #shrinkflation I bet many haven’t considered:
I’ve used the same brand of shampoo for as long as I can remember. Opened a new bottle this week and immediately realized a lot more comes out with each single pump.
So they’re encouraging using more product than you really need so you empty the bottle faster.
Current status: training myself to only pump about a third of the way coz my very short hair doesn’t need much product.

Unopened box of crackers. More than half empty. Will not purchase again. Need to pay more attention the weight on the box. The weight is truth.

Se non ve ne siete ancora accorti, non avete ancora mangiato un gelato quest’anno.
Altroconsumo rileva aumenti fino al +40% per il gelato sfuso e +70% per quello confezionato.
Federconsumatori conferma rincari su stecchi e vaschette e shrinkflation: porzioni più piccole, prezzi più alti.
Anche il gelato, come il caffè, stà diventando per molti un lusso. -

Boy, $29 dollars doesn't get you a very large pizza these days, though this Detroit-style puttanesca (minus the anchovies) from #EastGlisanPizzaLounge is exactly what I was craving last night.

You think it's just a snack? Look closer. That shrinking bag of Doritos, the price inching up, the 'new, improved' recipe masking ingredient cuts. This isn't just inflation; it's a silent confession. Corporations, driven by insatiable greed, are subtly eroding value, shrinking your purchasing power while their profits swell. It's a psychological game, ...

Just opened a box of chocolate fingers and having removed the cardboard, plastic film and inner tray, the edible remainder was perhaps 40% of the original volume!
So disappointed 🙁

"Oh, food inflation's not that bad."
President's Choice coffee - which the grocery shrink-ray hit, so it's not even a two-pound container anymore - at one of Loblaw's chains here in my town now has a regular price of $26.
$26.
Without trying to be all Get Off My Lawn, I used to pay $6 for a larger container.

It's no longer a half-gallon carton of milk.
It used to be 2 quarts (half a gallon), but now it is only 1.8 quarts.
Their website still shows the old size, when it was bigger.

My wife was tricked. She came home and said she bought a gallon of milk (2 of these cartons), but actually we only received 0.92 gallon for our money.

2/ #Enshittification is ruining everything. I generated a long-format essay about just how deep it goes and how #CorporateGreed is leveraging science to control consumers. This is a deep-dive into the depths of corporate deception and deceit. From #Shrinkflation to #BehavioralEconomics multinational corporate giants are seeking not just to compete, but to dominate markets. And they’re employing #surveillance, dark patterns, nudging, dynamic pricing and outright deceit to grow their ill-gotten profits. If you want to know how bad it has become, read this: https://popimpulse.blogspot.com/2026/06/the-age-of-enshittification.html #Capitalism #consumers #ConsumerProtection #Markets

2/ Speaning of #enshittification - I recently generated an in-depth, long-format essay on the subject. Posted it to my recently resurrected #blog. Predatory #corporate practices revealed. Discover how #surveillance, ‘choice architecture and behavioral economics are controlling consumer choices; how greedy companies are using #shrinkflation to maximize profits while consumers suffer; and how corporate giants have weaponized science to deceive, downsize and dominate the modern consumer.

The Age Of Enshittification - my latest blog post reveals how predatory corporations weaponize science to deceive, downsize, and dominate the modern consumer. We don’t have a chance since the “…death of the honest transaction”. Discover how greedy #corporations leverage #Shrinkflation, Skimpflation and Margin Defense to rip you off. Worse yet, learn about “choice architects” and “compliance engineering”. #consumers need to know what they’re facing going forward. It’s not pretty; be forewarned😖 (blog images created with AI, if that’s a problem for you, pls ignore) https://popimpulse.blogspot.com/2026/06/the-age-of-enshittification.html #Enshittification #CorporateGreed #Capitalism #SurveillanceCapitalism

I DON’T WANT TO LIVE ON THIS PLANET ANYMORE.
$7 is a LOW PRICE for bacon?!?! #Loblaws and #GalenWestonJr you can fuck RIGHT OFF.
Also, I KNOW that the PC brand bacon size shrunk by 25g in the past 6 months, because I found the old packaging on clearance and I bought as much as I was allowed to. lol

Überall liest man von #shrinkflation und in meinem Bier sind auf einmal nicht mehr die gewohnten 0,33ltr drin sondern 0,355.... Was ist da los? Müssen die das loswerden weil der Bierkonsum stinkt? :blobcatthink:

I know that it now says 2-pack, but look at the weight for the items — it’s still 200-244g, and the price has gone up $2 in literally just one month.
Meanwhile, I still think it’s a fucking travesty that they’re charging more than $3 for one. This is INSANE.
