Cause of death: the autopsy

Crowded with financial-grade incumbents (Ornn's index on Bloomberg, SemiAnalysis) and free trackers (gputracker.dev, AIMultiple, getdeploying). Prices spread from $1.49 to about $13 an hour.

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
