Once these comments burn in after ~2 hours, we can of course revisit the thread in the future to see if this turns out to be an accurate prediction. I admit, I could be wrong, predicting the future is hard, but history is fairly clear how this turns out (to the point that "enshittification" was coined).

Bitwarden has to compete with LastPass, Dashlane, 1Password, etc for market share to be around. I mean what should they do not to be seen as "enshittifying"?
Also:
1. Bitwarden is open source, so for those that think it is "enshittifying", can run it for free?
2. So what isn't being "enshittified"? Anything that is open source, free, not owned by PE or VCs and will never take investment?
1Password was bootstrapped for almost 15 years without investment then took investment and suddenly now counts as being "enshittified"?
It seems that "enshittification" (by definition) is incompatible with market competition and fosters it.

A $200 increase would be $30 (which it isn't).
