Cause of death: the autopsy

The reporting window slid to 31 January 2027 at the earliest, and the EPA proposed exempting article importers: '127,469 small article importers would no longer be subject'. That removes the small-business buyers.

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.
