DivX: Shut Down of Stage6 Portal Is for the Best

it was said "From the get go the service was destined to fail as DivX was using the site to showcase their own technology. The problem being that if the only way you can try to showcase adoption of your technology by content owners is by running your own website, it won't work. "

Why would they run a website that did NOT showcase their own tech? There is no place to see Divx other than this one, showing how it makes the Flash videos of YouTube look sick is a bad business idea?

I think one big problem is they ended up hosting pornography and did not want to have to vet all the uploads.
