It is easy to disprove the theory if you get to cherry-pick your examples. Would you like me to list the thousands of other companies that had a couple of poorly implemented features masquerading as a "beta" that were stomped into dust by others who worked a bit harder to do the job better?

Btw, I don't consider using some of the most popular web2 properties as an example to be cherry picking. I'm curious to see your examples nonetheless.
