Nah, It sucked from the beginning.
Like every other social media giant, it probably always has been in the red. Its main purpose was to kill decentralized communications by offering impossibly good deals with no concerns for cost.
Ads just don't pay enough for massive file size limits, permanent archives, nigh-unlimited download speeds and 24/7 uptime. All of these silicon valley companies must have realized that bailouts and such are no longer enough to keep their business model running, so they had to change it.

In our opinion, concerns about IP are way overblown.
Very rarely do people get their work stolen. This only tends to happen when someone with superior publishing capabilities gets a hold on a really good draft from you and publishes it before yourself. If someone just claims to be the author of something you made after you published it, no matter how where, they've got zero plausible deniability as long as the first publisher may easily be determined.
If you're really paranoid about someone impersonating you, you can sign your works with gpg. Then as long as nobody steals or hacks your computer you should be fine.
Pretty cool story, and the ending is intriguing enough, but the third paragraph has too many formatted words in our opinion. Having too many words in bold, cursive or ~~strikethrough~~ just doesn't look well. We think that strikethroughs should really be avoided unless used humorously, and even then in little amounts. It really just makes the syntax appear worse.
In our totally professional career of 5 months, we've come to certain conclusions.
Plaintext editors and markdown/html are all you will ever need if you are just doing digital publishing.
If you want your book to look nice on print, Libreoffice Writer will do the job, although you probably won't be using even half of the features.
Unix V7 Manual. Life is pain.
Eh. The story is fine, but it kinda takes too long to get to the point and doesn't describe it efficiently. It could have gone more in depth in much less space.
Also, years you say!? Not to sound harsh, but that's way too long for such a short story, even if writing it on the side. You should focus on one thing at a time and finish it quick.
