Cause of death: the autopsy
An agent sending LinkedIn invites or messages clearly breaks LinkedIn's terms, and selling it as a service makes the vendor the target: one such vendor had its company page removed on 2026-03-25. Automated cold email is illegal in Germany without consent, and 27k AI-run businesses sent 2.2M emails for about $14k in total revenue. Verdict: ignore, and forbid it in code.
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.

The report left no way back.
