2. Cracked.com

3. Etsy

Once, he bought a handmade set of dice declared as made in the US, but this set had a tracking number from China. 

4. StumbleUpon

Audiences found StumbleUpon a good website for browsing random internet pages for hours of fun. But, according to a respondent, this small website has converted into a weird site which he could understand what it was about. He was quite sure that nobody was free to waste time on that website. Another commenter shared that StumbleUpon was a fine source of entertainment and knowledge; he wanted a new version of that website.

5. Photobucket

It is an American image and video hosting website and an online community. Its users described a time when everyone was fond of it. At that time, Photobucket was used to host images for free.

He further mentioned that he was still getting a few emails from this site with a warning that all his photos would be deleted, but he never went back.

6. YikYak

But then came a turning point, when it demanded users to make their proper profiles. A respondent explained that everyone quit using YikYak when it demanded a profile. 

7. Nestlé

A Swiss-based company, Nestlé offers food and drinks to consumers worldwide. But now it is making its customers repulsive of its products.

But that was nothing but the way to prevent the infants from getting the natural and nutritious diet from the mothers.

8. RadioShack

RadioShack is an electronic retailing company founded in 1912 in America. According to the customers, the company had some value when selling electronics, small gadgets, and interesting technical bobbles. But then RadioShack took a turn and started selling expensive cell phone plans and batteries to some other audience. He further explained that its old employees were well aware of the technologies, but new employees were totally dumb about their duties.
