Cause of death: the autopsy

The lens found no way to make money from personal cameos: the video maker's revenue-share plan covers rightsholders' characters only.

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.
