Cause of death: the autopsy

Swarmed: several tools including a free check, and one service claims 2,000+ sellers from $500 a year. The responsible-person role also carries liability.

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.
