It was a freebie. Not everyone wants to write for free. I don’t think a free journal not getting material says terribly much.
Academic journals (of which JoM‑EMIT was an example) generally don’t pay for contributions. Even so, there are lots of low-impact low-quality journals out there with plenty of submissions. If a journal goes under from lack of interest, that suggests something was really wrong with the field.

There’s been a flood of articles and books on the topic since then, though. The field is flourishing—albeit under different names.
