Cause of death: the autopsy
YouTube's July 2025 'inauthentic content' rule covers mass-produced AI content, and it terminated 16 channels with 35M subscribers in Jan 2026; Google treats scaled content as spam and Pinterest bans unapproved automation. Measured open-source attempts earned about $0, e.g. one effort made $9 from products after 100+ articles with near-zero traffic. Refused outright.
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.
