I'd sign for enshittification being the worst thing that happens this century. Considering there are years 73 ahead of us in the century, it might only be the precursor of what will actually be the word of the century.

    I think fascism is worse. I think Russia invading Ukraine is worse. I think the genocide by Israel of the Palestinians is worse. I think wealth inequality is worse. I think the lack of social safety nets in the US, especially universal heatlh case, is worse.

    Enshittification is bad, but I really don't think it's the worst thing.

    I could be wrong, but I believe the person to whom you replied was indicating that they would be okay with "enshittification" being the word of the century, because there are SO MANY worse things on the horizon or actively festering and spiraling out of control that, if "enshittification" is the worst thing to happen this century, that would be an acceptable outcome. I believe they were using "sign for" as in "to accept, as of a package or parcel"
