Cause of death: the autopsy

The money is proven (a romance catalogue sold at $27.9k a year; an Etsy sheets shop had 90,701 sales), but it is winner-take-most, and both stores brought in AI-label rules and suspension waves from January 2026, plus quality and reputation risk.

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.
