Occupy fizzled due to it's own structure. It was a truly grassroots movement, not centered around any single leader or leadership structure. This ended up being the biggest issue that caused the movement to end. With no central structure, there was no central message. The media had no one specific to talk to, so they were free to talk to whomever they wanted, regardless of how well that person was able to articulate the message. With no well articulated message, people who weren't already playing close attention had no idea what the occupy movement was about, and they ignored it in droves.
