Rabb.it will be shutting down

[Essasetic]

​

Yes you've seen that correctly. Video streaming platform Rabb.it will be shutting down.

The CEO of Rabb.it released a blog post on Linkedin about the difficulties of keeping the service afloat and why the service will be shutting down.

Lack of monetization/funding, a very frustrating UI change, lack of marketing/press on the service and a lack of business relations are the key things that ultimately killed the service.

There is currently no ETA of when it will be shutting down but I will edit this post when there is one.​

Why is it shutting down? You should have included that in your post.

I'll edit it to include it then.

Never heard about them to be honest. So their marketing definitely was lacking.

I've never heard of them either.

WHO?

This actually sucks. Rabb.it is such a good way to watch movies/tv series/whatever with friends around the world.

It's basically a voice call room where the host can also use a web browser within Rabb.it and everyone else can see/hear what's displayed/played on the browser.

yeah sounds dated we have PROPER streaming services now

I am going to have to join the never heard of it echo, and I do try to keep on top of such services.

I've never heard of it.
Cytube is what I use for such things.

That's sad, I watched your name on that website once
Honestly I through it would be shut down for copyright issues, not for lack of use

They had a decent service, but I think they might’ve been on a list with some ISP’s. I had to turn on my VPN while sharing to avoid getting cut off every 10 minutes. I have Cox Communications as a provider.
