As a user, I get pissed off with acquihires, or pivots. Those can feel like a breech of trust.
This is different. It's pretty clear that the Everpix team worked hard to deliver the service they were selling, and in the end, failed.
I love(d) Everpix. It really did solve my photo mess, and their daily "flashbacks" were a welcome dose of nostalgia, delivered to my inbox every morning. There are other photo services that do similar things to Everpix, but none that can match their unique combination of pricing, ease of use and the brilliant flashbacks.
I'm sad that I lost a service I really really liked, but far from pissed off, at least at the company itself. They created an awesome service, and hopefully one that will soon be copied by a more financially stable successor.
