Cause of death: the autopsy

At least 6 'projected 2027' pages were already up before the IRS release, and publishers don't pay for the number. Scored 1 of 5.

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.
