Have you ever thought that staples of social media were too complicated? Like posting, for example.

For the people who wanted a simpler experience, an unknown person launched a social media platform

called Simpleverse. The service launched on April 6th, 2024 at 1:31AM. The platform lacked many

"complicated" features such as posting, account creation and more. Somehow, the website became a hit.

6 days after the service launched, version 1.1 released, adding a code of condut. This code of conduct

primarily banned terms commonly used on the video platform "TickTock", like "charisma", "ski-ba-bop", and

"phantom tax." 2 days later, v1.2 released, simply updating the code of conduct. 1.3 added features like

sign up page, and a "Why Us?" page. At this point, Simpleverse was hacked, and certain pages were compromised.

All of the changes the hacker made were instantly reverted. The most controversial change happened 2 days before

the service's eventual shutdown. The CEO of Simpleverse integrated advertisements into the platform. Users

found ads on every single page. This change was later modified, where all advertisements were moved to a

"sponsors" page. A newsletter was added shortly after. A public apology for the ads was posted onto

the newsletter. A day later, Simpleverse added a subscription model to the service. Later that day,

it was announced that the Simpleverse service would end. Simpleverse shutdown on April 25th, 2024.

When asked about Simpleverse, the unknown CEO said that "an archive of the site was made" and he's

working on making it public. He said this 2 months ago. To this day, Simpleverse's database is still

available to this unknown CEO, but he has not released any of it yet.
