Cause of death: the autopsy

Free trackers exist and France already requires shrinkflation labels. Not crazy enough for the tower.

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.
