Watchou was a Canadian video-hosting site developed by EJ that launched and closed in August 2021 due to negative reception.
History[]
The start of Watchou's development apparently started in August 2019 with the launch of their Twitter account WatchouHQ, where they provided screenshots and occasional updates on the progress that was being made.
Development lasted for allegedly two years, and the site made its debut in August 2021 to lukewarm reception.
Watchou and its Development Team were criticized for not providing the site a lot of features, not allowing users to edit their video's title and thumbnail, inability to take criticism, and allegedly mining cryptocurrency from people's computers.
Not long after the site's launch, EJ closed down Watchou and made the Twitter account private.
As of March 2023, Watchou has remained in "Maintenance Mode" according to their official site.
But according to their Crunchbase profile, the site was officially discontinued.
