What makes you think most people want such a thing?

And for those that do, why is Facebook or Instagram or a custom blog inadequate?

Facebook changed "wall" to "timeline" many years ago and has had a similar time-based structure since then. They even encouraged people to add major life events that happened before Facebook existed at all.

Simple - I had this built for myself. When I reached out to random people discussing the platform before I had it built, they loved the concept behind leaving a legacy. Pay attention to how many times professional athletes, movie stars, business people and the average person mention the word "legacy", wanting their life to have meaning and to leave a legacy after they're gone.

None of the other major platforms inspire to leave a legacy. Your point is valid, it's a platform where users can upload videos, photos, text etc like the rest of them. But each platform has a different circumstance, vibe or idea - linkedin is for business, employment ; snapchat is quick and easy highlight of what you're doing; facebook is the Swiss army knife based around your friends; instagram is simply photos and videos; but none effectively tell a story of one's life and inspire what you want your legacy to be, what you are about etc. They are all quick, one off posts that don't effectively tell a story of your life, which is what I think people are really doing when they are uploading content --> uploading a piece of their life's story bit by bit
