In the US, did Amazon kill the mall, is everyone too broke, or a combination of other factors? (lemmy.world)

I watch a lot of Dead Mall videos on YouTube and I wanted to see what everyone's thoughts are on why there's so many dead malls now.

That’s really interesting! In the Australian content, we would only ever call a strip of shops a ‘mall’ if they weren’t connected by some interior structure. In fact, our ‘malls’ are almost all outdoor connections of shops. So interesting how our vocabularies vary!

Hmm maybe what you call a mall in Australia is what Americans call a strip mall?
