Happs Is Dead - Poll

Post by MJKlein »

I got an email form Happs saying that Periscope is dead. All I can say is, now I think that Happs knows how that feels.

Looking at the Random feed is dismal. There is literally nothing worth watching on Happs anymore. They put off many of their prime content creators and what's left is mediocrity of the 1st division. I mean, Randy Whorton actually apologized for bringing people over to Happs. That's pretty bad. No matter what happened with Brocast or any other platform I've used, I never had to apologize to my viewers for wasting their time. I'd love to see Randy's comments on this forum.

So, what do you think? Is Happs dead? Please let me know by taking the poll.

Well, it was going strong until it got their latest, third version, since 2018. They used homeless perscopers for propping up a small user-list for impressing investors. I expect another internal coup.

At this point Heckle is gaining on them.
Happs is the new Google Plus -- a ghost town.

Hi @DeanSMS. Yes, I think the term "used" is appropriate. After that Happs seems to have put many of them off with their new policies and focus (music). If I had been heavily invested in Happs as a platform and they did that to me, I would be very upset with them. First, they send out a "Periscope Is Dead" email, and then add things like (words to the effect of) "don't lose your followers" and basically tried to scare them into going to Happs because their platform of choice will be gone. Then, Happs decides to push music content (which is, IMO the least creative of all content by volume, since virtually all musicians are playing cover music) and go full on TikTok protrait mode. Yup, way to kill a platform.

Happs is like the vine I cut in the garden. The vine still looks nice and green but that won't last for long.

Heckle isn't even on my radar.

Has anyone tried clicking on the Random link? This evening there are 3 people broadcasting. 1 is an audio only stream of some kind of chill music, and the other 3 are preaching. Dismal.

Wow, Happs is a graveyard. The Random function has 3 people live streaming. My feed has nothing new for weeks. Scrolling back for just a min reveals streams from Christmas and before. It's a shame that all the effort and money was wasted and that a 1/2 decent technical platform has been squandered. I mean, what did Happs really want? They had the biggest opportunity with the mass exodus from Periscope and what did they do? They offended/insulted most of those users and left them without a platform to stream to and they did it after inviting people to go to their platform so they wouldn't lose their audience. Nice going guys.
