Has Soap2Day shut down permanently? HITC investigates.
In the age of streaming, there are simply so many places for audiences to access entertainment online, with some popular platforms being totally legal and others being illegal. One such source for both US TV and UK shows is Soap2day.
Accessing titles on the site is illegal because it streams copyrighted content. Nevertheless, some have been accessing the website for years to explore its library, which includes thousands of titles across both TV and movies.
However, those attempting to access the site won’t be met with the usual experience they’ve grown to expect. Has Soapday shut down?
Has Soap2day shut down permanently?
Soap2day was shut down for good on Tuesday, June 13th, 2023, with the site’s team offering users a message to explain the absence of the content library.
“Hello guys: We have decided to close Soap2day forever,” the minimalist statement reads. “We are very sorry 🙂 Bye – Soap2day Team.”
The reason behind the decision of the Soap2day closure hasn’t been addressed in the statement, although we reinforce the fact that it was an illegal site.
Some may remember that Soap2day has disappeared from Google and other search engines before, with this happening once in 2020. However, this time the closure has been explicitly addressed by the team.
There is no reason to anticipate the site to return.
‘First Z library now Soap2day’
Soap2day users have hopped onto Twitter to mourn the loss and closure of the site.
“First Z library now soap2day,” one wrote with a sad face emoji. “How how am I gonna watch the things I can’t find on Netflix?”
Others are sharing their thoughts through humor: “As we lay our sister, Shirlene Soap2day Williams to rest… we ask you to leave the alternative sites at the funeral reception desk.”
Similarly, one joked “Sorry about Soap2day, but a lot of y’all need to use Soap2morrow.”
Lots of memes are already making the rounds and we can expect plenty more to emerge as people discover that the site has been closed by the team.
