tsu's gone "dark"!

in #tsu8 years ago

To my slightly great surprise, when I checked on tsu to see how it was doing because I was just talking about it, I find out that it's being put down!:

" Good day nation of tsu, it's Sebastian.

        You are probably wondering about the new layout but in fact we have taken tsu dark.                 Although we have still have numerous active communities on the  site, our mission of changing the social landscape for the benefit of  the content creator has passed.         I started this concept eight years ago and when we launched in  late 2014 we brought the conversation of content ownership and  monetization to the content rights holders into the mainstream. All told  there were approximately 5.2 million of us who have used our platform.  Through you, tsu's emergence into the mainstream spurred discussions on  virtually every major media outlet touching on the tsu concept,  royalties of music streaming services and to the business models of  established platforms. I wish we could have done more for the content  creators and the wonderful charities that lent their names to our  platform. In all, we built water wells, gifted wishes and gave back en  masse.                 Although I would have hoped we could have done more, I am proud  of our team and the wonderful, diverse community of friends we have  cultivated along the way. I am proud to have been a part of something  that millions of people helped create from North America to the Asian  subcontinent.                 Thank you for being a part of our platform of change and  believing in what we were attempting. In terms of those who have  monetized their content, we intend to abide by what we set out to do and  if you have created amounts large enough for redemption, we will remit  payments to you in short order. If you have participated in and won any  company-sponsored contests, you will be compensated as well. In the next  few days we will be adding a button to the site so users can download  their own content which will be available until August 31st. Should you  have any questions, please write to [email protected].                 Lastly, in order to keep up on what we are doing next, please  feel free to connect with me through various social media platforms:                 Snapchat: @tsullc "sebastian"
        Twitter:     @sebastianarthur "SeabassChen"
        Instagram: @seabasschen
        Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/seabasschen "

I'm including the writing on the website because, undoubtably, after August 31st, it will be erased. 

I suppose I should also put it on Web Archives.

Ok. Here it be.

I'm curious - do you believe STEEMIT will be just another TSU?

Another Tsu user! I was on for a good chunk of time, but began souring on it not too long after, because so many of the posts that were shared and commented on (and thus generated $) were just pictures, or fluff posts with no real content. Oh, and when the "big" first check was sent and publicized by Kevin Hinkle...and was a handwritten check from Sebastian, I knew it wouldn't be long.
