    The concept of the games is amazing. But like with everything these days it’s become enshitified into a corporate driven consumtion based product geared only towards making the rich richer.

      The International Olympic Committee has been essentially a kind of economic pirate ship, plundering resources of host cities, since decades ago. They care only about their executives, who keep getting caught up in bribery scandals, because they take bribes. It’s a great idea but should not be run by an elite.

      Enshittification has nothing to do with it. It’s a useless buzzword in this context. Next time just say what you mean.

        I have to disagree enshitification is perfectly applicable word to describe the way the modern games have taken shape over the last hundred and twenty years. let alone the differences between the ancient and modern games.
