They apparently didn't meet their deadline.

The design and avatars may have been somewhat cheesy but the service itself was actually very useful and well made.

overpriced shits were like 9.99 to 15.99, thats not how a service should go. they even fired their art directors so theres no reason to price them at something so ridiculous

What kind of moron would pay for avatars anyway? I'll donate to a site I love and whitelist it on Adblock but jesus fucking Christ that's the definition of desperate.

and listening to the majority is also a bad idea, they were in development of an android app for the site because of requests. they shouldve focused on the site and its pricing instead of having idiots complain. their business model should not be repeated and i think its best for them to shut down. they never thought of the long term and look what happens.

There was a lot of potential with plug.dj. It's a shame to see it fall like this.

They implemented Google Ads but that apparently didn't bring in enough money to cover costs either.

Huh... That's just crazy. They're a very small team and the site saw a pretty good amount of activity from what I remember. What was their big hemorrhaging problem from?

For everyone asking: We had 60k “every single day” hard-core users (1m total MAU). Only 2.9k of them subscribed/donated. We needed 15x that.

That's what happens when you input a shitty system instead of making fixes that people want.

Also, their site is down now.
