Actually, they did. The clones were all written for cable companies and ISPs and offered to their customers as a free perk. These companies promoted the shit out of them and still nobody ever used them.
I even “starred” in one of these ads. I had the amusing role of being amazed that I could make a phone call with the app … when the app was running on a fucking iPhone.
I also liked Skype, even though I spent five years of my career writing Skype clones that absolutely nobody used.
What was it?
Well, of course not. No one spent millions on ads for your clones.
