video is dead.

but the main reason it didn't succeed is because it got associated with college hipsters and the homeless looking for a free place to crash. Camping out 24/7 is not something the typical person wants to do. It was extremely unrelate-able. Let alone hang out with annoying hipsters and smelly homeless people.

most of the 99 percent are wage slaves who cannot take time off work to.......go sit in a tent on concrete for weeks on end. They needed something way more accessible to the regular person.

it was a marketing failure.

I'm going to assume this is the same thing based on time and description *backup=[...snipped...]

Added alternate embed code for this video - backup requested by RFlagg.

Moving this video to lurgee's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

I never saw how OWS could become a political movement. It never had a coherent or unified mission or objective save discontent with the status quo. A political movement requires putting forward an alternative, which OWS never had and would be hard pressed to agree on, what with the much berated "1%" being more individually viewed as anybody with significantly more wealth than me.

OWS was popular outrage at real problems, but it never got as far as proposing a clear and agreed upon solution.

IMHO It would have become everything it needed to be...
Quite obviously it was destroyed because the Feds had access to everyone's phones and email. They incarcerated the leaders whenever they arose. They intercepted and locked down any meetings, they infiltrated important groups. The gov, the nsa and Bloomberg actively destroyed the movement with surveillance that no one could have foreseen or circumvented.

You cannot have Freedom without Privacy

The current political paradigm demands leaders. OWS was anti-hierarchical and thereby easily ignored in the context of long term stable politics.
