Cause of death: the autopsy

Kajabi added AI dubbing in December 2025, Hotmart bought a dubbing company, self-serve tools dub a course for $50-200, and a free browser extension dubs Udemy for viewers. No case was found of a US course earning in Portuguese; the hard part is affiliate traffic, not dubbing.

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.
