I wonder how this compares the the number of businesses that existed in 2013 that no longer exist. I wonder for two reasons:

  • Is 38% similar to the typical rate of failure for businesses and other ventures?
  • How much of the 38% can be explained by closure of high-risk businesses like restaurants?

Something else that could explain a lot of it is webpages that were always intended to be ephemeral. Political campaign websites for instance.

Also.... I once created hellblade.com. We sold gaming computers with cases that changed colour with heat in the UK. Was a total disaster. Now it's some big game franchise. Wish I'd kept the domain.

Yeah i often wonder.... Would they have changed the name of the game, paid me off, or done something like hellbladegame.com.
