Had the company been allowed to exist and compete fairly, it would have evolved into something more modern and mobile friendly. Judging a startup from before the pre-mobile era, and blaming the design for its failure is kind of silly.
This was the norm back then, if I were creating a video sharing website in 2019 of course I'd approach it differently, but alas there's no point in even trying.
