Question

does anyone else feel that brainly only bought OS for promoting purposes :(

Answer 1

@PartyShotz2409 @imqwerty @Ms-Brains ???

Answer 2

Yeah that was the main purpose of buying os :p they can get nothing from os except for users

Answer 3

Brainly has money, Open Study needs money, Brainly needs users, OS has users. I say it's a fair deal. Who cares that Brainly but OS? Honestly, it's still the same. Just a few "powered by brainly" here and there.

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

Os is now powered by brainly but what would you do with this power when you got no users..

Answer 6

Summer break is not the reason why there is less crowd on os. If it was then brainly would've also been dry but its not so.

Answer 7

It just i prefer OS over brainly I feel like OS actually cares about their users and isn't just looking for users....

Answer 8

agreed

Answer 9

you realize we are ranking up for discussing things in a question

Answer 10

yes

Answer 11

True indeed!!!!!!!! Honestly i was shocked when i saw that OS was powered by brainly..... I wanna knw the whole story !

Answer 12

Yep they just want OpenStudy's users.

Answer 13

Really? But how is it that they are getting any users ?

Answer 14

Well brainly is for answers people love getting answers (well some people) if they saw how brainly worked users would want to go there. Users who have been using this site know that this site is much better 1) we have better features 2) Mods are less strict 3) OS is more laid back.

Answer 15

4) It's fun here, more like a family , I love it here ....

Answer 16

@pooja195 do u think the no. of users have reduced after OS was powered by brainly ? Cuz I have a slight gut feeling about that

Answer 17

I think numbers have reduced because of summer vacation

Answer 18

oh right

Answer 19

It was a mistake to sell OS to Brainly. I have been vocal about it from day one. But you know, at this point, I guess there isn't much we can do...unless we were able to convince Brainly to sell it back. But I doubt we have the $$$ !!!

Answer 20

Nothing can be done about it now. Let us all appreciate the remaining days of OpenStudy instead.

Answer 21

NO OS CANNOT LEAVE

Answer 22

There is always hope for a brighter future.

Perhaps the people at Brainly may see all of the wonderful things OpenStudy has to offer, to see the reason why we have so many loyal users and why people love this website so much.
To see that sometimes, people don't just want answers. Life is all about learning and growing, and that's what OpenStudy's all about. We ask, we learn, we teach and learn while teaching, we share knowledge, and we can meet so many wonderful friends who are smart and caring, and so much more. No other website could compare.

Answer 23

The great Carina is here.

Answer 24

@Whitemonsterbunny17 I agree brainly should redirect their site to OS because OS is so much better

Answer 25

Too bad OS got sold.

Answer 26

It got acquired by Brainly. So it's up to Brainly to do what they want with OS, but if they don't want to make people mad and they don't want to lose a huge userbase, they may just see that they need to keep OS around.

Answer 27

"Acquired."

Answer 28

brainly literally could use this site to improve their format and service but no they have to be in it for the moneayy.

Answer 29

OS itself could acquire quite a bit of revenue. You just need the right people to figure out how to get the profit from it.
I mean, all we need is a big golden "Donate" button. That's it. Maybe sell some merchandise, etc.

Answer 30

A donate button just like the website we cannot speak of?

Answer 31

oh she went there ^

Answer 32

Or like the Wikipedia thing.

Answer 33

Right. Sure.

Answer 34

Am I the only one who gets mad at the lack of information on certain wikipedia pages so I go and research the topic and spoof the pages up?

Answer 35

Or maybe I am just weird enough to do that

Answer 36

That is irrelevant, don't you think?

Answer 37

A little sorry I get distracted easily..

Answer 38

It's okay.

Answer 39

Anyways brainly need to get there stuff together and stop using OS for users because obviously we would be at brainly not OS if we liked brainly

Answer 40

Just rage Facepalm why brainly why

Answer 41

alright im going to close this to prevent spam bya

Answer 42

Os cannot get any revenue now and even if it does it goes to brainly cuz they own os.. The owlbucks thing has been stopped and now no one can buy owlbucks neither they can subscribe. Few users who tried subscribing weren't able to do so.

Answer 43

That's a sure sign.

Answer 44

:p thatis whyno more QH questions.. Feels bad

Answer 45

Well, no one mentioned that all of our potential new users are all being directed to Brainly. Look at the splash page. Only one button actually leads to OpenStudy on that page

Answer 46

We should rebel and form the Confederate Openstudy State

Answer 47

"The owl will rise again!"
