It was such a beautiful ui and ux , elegant really. It’s a shame yet I wonder how could it have been profitable. There’s really not a whole lot to monetize unless I’m missing something.


Songwhip allowed artists to claim and customize their page for a fee. Back then I looked into why Songwhip closed but couldn't find a definitive answer. I found a Reddit post where the original creator shared their site many years ago, so it looks like Songwhip started as a personal project. When it closed down though that decision was made by Sony. So it seems like the original creator got bought out by Sony and then Sony decided to close the service. Just speculation though.
