Absolutely. And Vice and Gawker, and to some extent even The Onion. Some survived, some did not. Dropout in particular is one of the few semi-success stories of it. It was called the "pivot to video," and it's almost a joke in online content communities now; especially since everyone on these platforms was saying, "we don't want this!" even as Facebook was saying, "everyone wants this!"
