We don't know from this record whether the product still operates, what it charged, or why its status is what it is. Across the whole register, 22% of launches whose status we could settle are gone.

How we know. Show HN and Product Hunt entries are judged by asking the domain whether it still answers: gone means it no longer resolves, refuses the connection, serves a parking page, or says plainly that it has shut down. An HTTP error is not counted as gone — a server that answers 404 is one somebody still pays for. Y Combinator entries use the status YC itself publishes (active, inactive, acquired or public), which is why only those can say acquired or public. Search the whole register.
