You also seem to have a very narrow definition of what failure looks like as defined by HTTP status codes.

It’s already over… I don’t know how long the death rattle is going to last but it’s past the point of no return in any meaningful sense.

What metric would you use? Daily impressions? Those seem to be up. Posts? Also up. Impressions, posts, and status codes are the measure of success (status codes of course being a proxy for earnings as well as operations given that if they go out of business they won't be returning status codes at all).

Politely.. it’s very clear from this post that you don’t seem to have any background in anything business related.

None of those things are going to have any impact on the eventual outcome here.

I was pretty clear about the very specific problems they are facing and how any one of them individually is potentially fatal for them. Without solutions to those problems the end result is going to be the same it’s just the timeline that’s in question.
