Some of the blame has to go to the reporting. All of the news posted around the internet and here was so negative, they are doomed, going out of business this month, etc. Virtually all the articles and predictions in this thread have turned out to be false. Especially the earlier ones. Those were entirely exaggerated, lies, possibly in some cases written by AMC marketing. Many many mis-statements in those articles.
Yes, MP did become virtually unusable at one point, but it was long after the initial dire predictions and thousands and thousands of what I call "opinion" pieces. Write 10,000 negative articles, it has an effect. But it certainly was true it became unusable, at last. Kind of hard to imagine a different outcome given how media was talking about them. Quoting this user or that user, gee, how scientific those opinions were. And now they are back, without those limitations. Which should be impossible based on all those articles right?
Sinemia seems to be a better value though now that they have carded again and have ditched the processing and transaction fees.
My point is more that without all of the misleading articles (especially early one) that said things that were simply not true, MP would be in a better position today. I really hate it when the media goes into a frenzy against something. They get so ridiculous. The media hurt MP as much as MP hurt themselves. And don't get me wrong, MP did do stupid things.
