Did that ever...work?
Probably, considering that it was enough to get the company to the point that it could go public. And for the company to lose 54% of its "value" after changing it.
So it got enough eyes on the platform to serve them ads or subscriptions or whatever their monetization strategy was...did the product ever once function as advertised?
Whether or not it did enough people thought it did for it to get really popular, and then when those features went away get significantly less popular. I never used it but judging from how its popularity rose and fell: probably.
