Is this real lore or is this meme

I am not sure I remember anymore, I have eaten my tail one too many times.

I don't think this is a direct meaning of the metaphor, though any metaphor of endlessly repeating cycles can be placed in a rhetorical framework where it represents enshittification so I am sure I am not the first person to add or tweak the metaphor with that context.
