This is fun, but I think the site needs a clearer distinction between “dead”, “declined”, and “still alive but culturally moved on”.

Tamagotchi is a good example: it’s no longer the late-90s phenomenon, but it’s definitely not dead.

A small status tag could help:

- shut down - zombie / technically alive - niche but active - spiritual successor exists

That would make the debates part of the site instead of just corrections in the comments.
