      Google+ - it was Google’s attempt at a competing social network to Facebook. They pushed it hard, tried to force everyone to use their real names, attempted to tie YouTube channels to it, etc. Until it ultimately bombed and it was discovered that they had HUGE data leak issues. So they shuttered the whole thing some years back.

      The community we ended up building ended up being something like 5000 active daily participants, with 430k who had ‘joined’ the community.
