5-Year-Old Hosting Service AllMyVideos, No Longer Profitable, To Shut Down (torrentfreak.com)

Posted by msmash on from the all-good-things-come-to-an-end dept.

Founder five years ago, AllMyVideos.net is one of the most popular video hosting services out there, but it will be shutting store this month. Though millions of users visit the website every month, the company said it operated on "minus 20 percent" profit margin. "We are sorry to inform everyone that effective October 23, 2016 Allmyvideos.net will stop accepting new uploads and the site will close fully at the end of the month," the site announced.

    This must be super popular because I've never heard of it.

    Blocking ads came as an effect. The cause being obnoxious ads.
    It was a run to the bottom (top?) since then.
    Ads became more obnoxious, ad blockers became more complex, and so on, and so on.
    Of course, some websites would fall. Is this users' fault? Only if you look no further.
