  There were those but there were also a lot of surprisingly high-effort drawings; Archiverse (https://archiverse.pretendo.network/ https://archiverse.pretendo.network/) has a lot of them archived. It wasn't in any way dead or unpopular. And if people weren't using it, then why would they backport it to the 3DS three years after release? And the worst part is, it was still young when they ended it. The Wii U wasn't even five years old and there were still games coming out with miiverse integration a year before it ended. And ultimately Nintendo were the ones who decided to make this into a central feature of their platform. They didn't have to sell people a twitter clone if they didn't even intend to support it for the duration of a single game-console generation. They didn't have to populate the home-menu of the Wii U with miiverse posts or make it central to games like splatoon and mario maker only to end it less than two years from release date.
