Some initial reasons why I rarely use Flare...
1) There is no search - easily the biggest reason. If you arent there for the few videos presented on main screen, you're unlikely to find what you are looking for
2) New videos bury old - directly ties into #1, and reminds me of geyser flaws.
3) Exceptionally limited audience - knowing anything important will be available on other platforms that stream better.
4) No "channel" type organization per person, subscription management tools, etc. Limited analytics.
