Cause of death: the autopsy

The stale pages were Wikipedia and new AI-compliance blogs, the non-payers; pages that make money were current (7 of 7 for Spain's invoicing rule). Detection is a regex plus a date source, which any freshness checker can add.

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.
