When Walmart shows up, small stores that sell the same goods go out of business.

Apple is the Walmart of tech.

I liked and used 8tracks but for me, it's strong point was that it was free. It's really hard to ask people for money when you're competing with free or 10$/mo for many many things.

You've got to really have an outstanding product - 8tracks was a good online playlist player. It is now gone.
