1. completion is usually a goal in itself. You can't succeed with this step, regardless of whether you do succeed after it's complete.
2. The author seems to have simply accepted that there is no room in the market for this site. It's not clear that that's true. There may be niche-markets to pursue, or there may be the standard 'better implementation' options.
3. Giving up before releasing, but grinding out the last bit of code seems unlikely to result in a great product. From an armchair psychologist perspective, it smacks of 'giving up before you can get beaten'.
Kudos to the author for sharing the site, regardless of their low opinion of it.
