Endoparasitism is more difficult to say, but that's what's actually going on.

Parasitoids are parasites that corrupt a host, eventually resulting in its death. Endoparasitism is where the parasitoid infects and lives inside the host.

Enshittification usually leads to death of the host too. It can just take a while. The stronger the host the longer it takes. People all just move on to the new best thing until it gets enough attention that the parasites start sniffing around
