That is exactly the problem with Scribd? No growth no pivots, so all that is left do to is plaster the thing with ads and have someone keep it running at night.
It's terrible exactly because it is too old now.

Anecdotally, I've never heard from anybody who didn't resent Scribd. At best, people use it because of entrenched habits.
