Cause of death: the autopsy

A 188-comment thread showed the fear is real, but promising compliance invites liability and overlay tools have a bad reputation, so the pain mining excluded it. The forced-demand scan also listed accessibility overlays as an ethics and legal trap.

The numbers

None. It was never built, so there are no visitors, sales or ad spend to count. It died on paper, which is the cheapest place to die.

Could rise again if

The report left no way back.
