I've never heard of this product but it's sad to see it not work out. There is a huge gap when it comes to black media representation in the United States specifically and I believe it will be a huge opportunity to whoever can tap into it's potential. Black millennials in particular are such a driver of culture in America it's surprising to see how little they are catered to in terms of product. Especially in regards to social media, the impact of Black Twitter is well documented. Also, for anyone who used Vine it seemed like Black creators were really the base of the content that Vine was known for.

Yes agreed. I'd also argue that black millennials (and younger) aren't just drivers of culture, they're also tech early adopters! Vine is a great example, Worldstar is a somewhat notorious example, BlackPlanet... those are just off the top of my head.
