Ubuntu Touch, unfortunately. Though UBports is keeping it going.
Vidme and Vlare, which were both potential alternatives to YouTube but were shut down due to lack of funding.

Ubuntu touch is amazing. If you want a Linux phone, I always give the advice of not getting a Pinephone. A Google Pixel 3a or Oneplus One running Ubuntu touch are faster, more feature packed, and easier than a Pinephone.

Capitalism, it was the new hot shit after feudalism, but it just caused colonialism, imperialism, and mass starvation because there has to be an enormous reserve army of labor. It also leads to cyclical economic collapses which impoverish more people at the bottom while enriching people at the top, creating an oligarchy.

There was supposed to be a disc the size of a quarter to replace DVD's.

Cloud gaming.

I play the most on Nvidia GeForce Now. The restrictions imposed by the publishers fragmenting availability of games is awful, but the experience for games I can play is great. It takes a geographically close datacenter and low latency link (I have fiber, pings to Nvidia are generally <8ms), I don't think it works well otherwise.
