Hailo wasn’t even used in very many cities. This is a bad argument. It never had the scale of Uber/Lyft. Not even comparable.

It was incredibly successful in the UK and Ireland. They explicitly pulled out of the US because it cost too much money for marketing.

I'm just bitter that a decent service got wiped out by a competitor setting VC money on fire.

If it was a decent service then it’d still be around. The market decided it wasn’t as useful as Uber.
