Good. What is the reason for the sudden fall?

[–] Zerush@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

A lot of people trying it and realizing how rubbish it is, before going back to Habbo

I think there has been some un-easiness with online advertisement based businesses for a while now.

Basically no-one knows if they really provide real businesses with the benefits they claim to provide. And there is some evidence that they probably provide much less benefit than commonly claimed.

Thus any signs of weakening meet a nervous market that isn't sure if the current big players I.e. Facebook and Google are not vastly over-valuated right now.
