I think it's more nuanced than that. Yes, it's true that the economics are horrible. But it's also true that consumer startups are hard. And then when you tack on legal fees and product changes due to policy concerns, it becomes impossible. Maybe the lesson is that the world isn't ready for a product that targeted minors with fake friends based on existing IP. Maybe it never will be.

broadly speaking, it _is_ factually incorrect to say that. Censorship is the government controlling what information the public can access. No one on "the left" is trying to pass a law saying that people should get jail time for using the R-word.

Political correctness, woke/cancel culture, whatever you want to call it, is not censorship. And it's not splitting hairs to say this; words have meaning and though 'censorship' is particularly abused, it is still quite different from me looking down on someone who uses the R slur on X (as I do daily)
