I don't really understand how they screwed this one up. I don't really think their closure has much to do with the child abuse stuff (Snapchat had their fair share of controversies), but rather their focusing on their nonsense ICO -- not sure if this was idealism, stupidity, or greed. Kik filled a fantastic niche shared by both WhatsApp and Snapchat (and to a lesser extent Instagram), how did they drop the ball?

Kik actually provided something WhatsApp (I'm not sure about Snapchat) didn't: the ability to chat fairly anonymously without needing to provide a phone number. It sure was full of bots though.
